<p>My daughter is a National Merit Finalist and is trying desperatly to choose a college to attend. However, one of the schools has a limited number of scholarships worth $6000 per year if she names them first but she needs to be in the first batch list they receive to even see if they pick her for the award. If she is awarded this scholarship that school would probably be the choice but it is hard to choose without knowing. Another close runner up school has made a transparent offer. If she lists the school that may offer the $6000 will she be allowed and have time to change her 1st choice school to the second school and still get their award? thank you</p>
<p>I believe you can change your designated NMF school until the last minute. Go ahead and pick the first and you can change if necessary. I would also look at this post for some potential alternate schools. Many good schools offer excellent rides for NMFs.</p>
