National Merit Scholarship

<p>I couldn't find the amount online...but how much does Duke give for National Merit Finalists?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Duke dosen't give s*** to NMF.</p>

<p>Most of the elite universities do not sponsor NMS with financial scholarships. Many of their applicants are finalists. There are quite a few state universities that do not sponsor either. (Michigan, UVA, Illinois...to name a few). When S1 was applying to schools (class of '05) none of those in which he was seriously interested were sponsoring NM scholarships. H's company DOES sponsor, however, so he has NM money for Duke through them! Every little bit helps!</p>

<p>oh...that sucks. i guess we'll just get the one time $2500 award then ~_~</p>

<p>Some of us will. Only like 1000 or 2000 of those are given out to the 15000 finalists.</p>
