National Merit Scholarship

<p>When are Finalists notified about whether or not they're getting the scholarship? I'm getting a tiny bit impatient... That March-May timeline on the official site isn't easing my nerves. Any idea when they were announced last year? I've been digging through the CC archives and I've found nothing.</p>

<p>I can't find anything either...darn...I've been waiting too. Well, good luck!</p>

<p>i believe in april ish</p>

<p>NM Scholarships offers are mailed March 24.</p>

<p>NMSC began mailing out notices for the corporate-sponsored awards early this past week</p>

<p>Warblersrule: how do you know it is the 24th? I hope we get this!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! <em>crosses fingers</em> March 24 it is.</p>

<p>I got mine yesterday... It was the business sponsered scholarship for $1000 a year though.</p>

<p>Check your Semifinalist packet, darkofnight. There was a very specific timeline enclosed. NM-sponsored scholarships are mailed March 24; corporate-sponsored scholarships were mailed March 9.</p>

<p>... :) I still havne't gotten anything. I guess they decided I was an unwanted fluke in the system and kicked me. :)</p>

<p>There goes money down the drain. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>polonius - don't give up yet - you would only have heard about the coporate-sponsored awards if you were eligible.....parent works for a company that participates...or maybe a large corp. is headquartered in your area and gives $$ to students in the community, etc.....this is probably the smallest piece of the NMSC pie in terms of number of awards.</p>

<p>well i don't need a whole lot. Antyhing would be good atm. :)</p>

<p>Of course you all know that there are a number of schools at which you can turn your NMF status into a four (or even five)-year full ride?</p>

<p>gadad - hah! I wish! Not at any of my schools.</p>

<p>March 24th mail out date - is this just the corporate scholarships or all of them?</p>

<p>I am a National Hispanic Recognition Finalist (National Merit for us stupid hispanics :)) and I have a 12K scholarship from my college automatically... Many colleges automatically give scholarships to NMF and NMSF if they go there</p>
