<p>My son received a letter today informing him that he is a National Merit Finalist. Has anyone else received this notification.</p>
<p>The additional $13,000 will certainly help.</p>
<p>Yep, I received it yesterday!
The day after I received my engineering scholarship.
The week made my parents happy, haha.</p>
<p>Wow...a week has passed and only two CCers weigh in as NMF's? Texas leads the nation (public universities) with the number of National Merit Scholars enrolled. I have to believe there are many more of you out there.</p>
<p>hmm I'm pretty sure I saw some people on the scholarships thread mention they got NMF. I'm sure there's a lot more. Two of my friends who are definitely going to Texas are NMFs and that's out of the 7 at our school, so I think there's a lot more out there.</p>
<p>count me in! ;) But if I decide to go here, I'll need to change my first college choice from Rice to UT.. which seriously should be a no-brainer because Rice will probably only offer me $3000 for NMF.</p>
<p>My son got notification, too. You're right - there are others of us out here, just not on CC every day.</p>
<p>Congrats to all!</p>
<p>How much does UT give for NMF?</p>
<p>$4,000 the first year
$3,000 every year for the next three years
$13,000 total</p>
