<p>i just got my acceptance packet today (whew...i was on a streak of rejections) and i was wondering if we were supposed to get financial aid information with it. are NMFs supposed to receive acknowledgment of the scholarship that comes with it (presidential...or so i thought?), or does that come later? </p>
<p>and was i supposed to designate fordham as my 1st choice school before expecting this? thanks for your help</p>
<p>I can only go by last year. My S got his “semifinalist scholarship” offer with his acceptance packet. Please note that it is not an automatic - I believe you have to be in the top 10% of your class, too. As for Presidential scholarships, I think they only give 20 or so of those (full ride). The semifinalist scholarship is tuition only (still extremely generous). You have to name Fordham as your first choice school to NM Corp. for the NM scholarship. I hope this helps.</p>
<p>yup that helps, thank you! i think i had another school as my first choice…so i’ll have to look into that :)</p>
