Paying for College National Merit Aid

<p>I saw this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/649276-nmf-scholarships-updated-compilation-20.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/649276-nmf-scholarships-updated-compilation-20.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>And wondered, if there's one for National achievement, or is it non-existant and national achievement is more like a pat on the back?</p>

<p>My previous misplaced post: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/909891-so-national-achievement.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/909891-so-national-achievement.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Congrats on making National Achievement! </p>

<p>There are schools that give nice big scholarships for NA :)</p>

<p>I was at Bama recently for a performance and the mom next to me was so excited because her D had the full National Achievement scholarship from Bama for her NA status…full tuition, honors housing, laptop, etc. The package is worth over $100k</p>

<p>Plus, since her D is in engineering, she also gets an additional $2500 per year.</p>

<p>National Merit Finalist or National Achievement Finalist</p>

<pre><code>* Value of tuition in-state or out-of-state for 4 years

  • 4 years of on-campus housing (this includes the 4 bedroom honors super suites)
  • $1,000 per year University National Merit/Achievement Scholarship for 4 years
  • One time allowance of $2,000 for use in summer research or international study (after completing one year of study at UA)
  • Laptop computer**
    </code></pre>

<p>What is your likely major?</p>

<p>Checkout University of Central Florida too. I am pretty sure that they offer a package to National Achievement Finalists.

<p>These are awesome. The only critique I have of them is their distance from where I live, and my parents are very…attached…to me. (For lack of a better word)</p>

<p>Forgot to add, that the northeast and mid-west are more plausible locations. Though anything can happen.</p>
