<p>Does anyone know when they mail out the NMS official certificates to those who won the 2.5k? And in which newspapers are the names released? (im guessing they were all released much earlier?)</p>
<p>let me just declare how much i hate the National Merit cutoff in NJ</p>
<p>lol thanks abhim. anyone have a helpful comment?</p>
<p>We get certificates? I thought they just sent us the letter with our scholarship information and that was it. News was released to the press already for those who won the Nat Merit $2,500 or Corporate Sponsored scholarships I think. It's up the whatever local newspapers who choose to release names to do so. My paper didn't do anything.</p>
<p>well, the letter explaining the national merit scholarship info said that they'll send certificates in "late spring." but isnt it already like summer?</p>
<p>they mightt send it to your high school because i know i get NMF certificates from my high school at senior awards night, though im not sure if these are from NMS or my high school.</p>
<p>I got one from my school board and one from some guy at the awards ceremony at my school..but the school board one looked more legit.</p>
<p>Oh, guess I missed that sentence. Hmm, our school makes certificates for all our awards and gives them to us with our diploma packet at graduation, but they are just fake things. I haven't gotten my 'official' NMS certificate either, but Penn has updated my FA package to include my scholarship information so that's good enough for me :)</p>
