<p>Anyone heard from National Merit about scholarship offers?</p>
<p>nope.... but I'm still praying for a miracle... the school I want to go to offers nothing</p>
<p>me too! When do they send scholarship offers?</p>
<p>Letters are mailed out March 24 for NM Scholarship offers. Check the timeline in your Semifinalist packet.</p>
<p>As I understand, it IF you were awarded a NM scholarship such information is not for public knowledge until the 30th of April</p>
<p>I got a letter from NM asking for my college choice, then an email about five days later asking for the same thing, and then a NM rep called my GC office today since they hadn't yet received my response (I mailed it out a few days ago). She said that <em>if</em> I were selected, a letter would go out either tomorrow or Friday. </p>
<p>Do you think that's a good sign that they've been contacting me persistently?</p>
<p>Gee, ya think?</p>
<p>so tomorrow huh??</p>
<p>well, the letter was sent today/tomorrow, so that probably means that we won't receive it until saturday or monday.</p>
<p>Assuming they were all mailed out at the same time (which seems reasonable to assume),the National Merit Scholarship notices were indeed sent, via first-class mail, on 3/24 from the corporation's headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. (I know this because we live nearby and received one in today's mail.)</p>
<p>how much $ does NM scholarship pay?</p>
<p>Beginning in March and continuing to mid-June, NMSC notifies approximately 8,200 Finalists that they have been selected to receive a Merit Scholarship® award. Merit Scholarship awards are of three types:</p>
<pre><code>* National Merit® $2500 Scholarships
Every Finalist competes for these single payment scholarships, which are awarded on a state representational basis. Winners are selected without consideration of family financial circumstances, college choice, or major and career plans.
