<p>I've just been named a National Merit Finalist. How much scholarship money will I get from the following universities?</p>
<p>-Yale
-Princeton
-Columbia
-University of Pennsylvania
-Duke</p>
<p>I got accepted to USC, and they give half-tuition for Finalists. I applied to Rice, and I think they only give like $1000 a year. </p>
<p>Help???</p>
<p>Probably none; the Ivies don't give merit aid. Try googling "National Merit" on the Duke website and see if anything turns up.</p>
<p>Duke: I just tried this; nothing.</p>
<p>You don't necessarily get money. You have to be selected as a National Merit Scholar before you get money from the schools that do not participate in the college-sponsored program. National</a> Merit Scholarship Corporation - NMSP read the winner selection paragraph underneath that.</p>
<p>I think the top Ivys give 2500 to each Scholar. I'm not sure about the others but Princeton offered $2500 for the National Merit Scholarship, but I did qualify for financial aid. Try looking to see if you are eligible for corporate-sponsored ones because they often pay much more, i.e., Pfizer gives 12000 over 4 years, which is much better than the one-time installment of 2500 even though you do not get the distinction of "National Merit Scholar"</p>
<p>I don't think the Ivies give anything for national merit. They do not give merit scholarships, only need based.</p>
<p>For the umpteenth time, ANYONE who receives a NM-sponsored, corporate-sponsored, or college-sponsored NM scholarship is a "National Merit Scholar".</p>
<p>Many NM Finalists do not receive any type of scholarship.</p>
<p>Is there somewhere that lists the corporate and/or college sponsors?</p>
<p>first off, thank you fireflyscout that annoys me too b/c it's explained like that by NM, no matter what ppl on here think</p>
<p>ok, so the corporate sponsors are listed in the same paper that lists the colleges that hand out aid for being NMF, which would make you a scholar, in the semifinalist packet, otherwise, just go to the website</p>
<p>A list of corporate sponsors can be found here:

<p>Does NYU give money to NMF?</p>
