<p>^Well, you never know…you might get one of the $2500 NM scholarships. It would be worth filling out the paperwork for that!</p>
<p>Yes, and many parents’ companies also participate and fund NM scholarships. My son was able to accept the $2500/yr from my H’s company and also accept the NM scholarship from his school (minus $1k which is considered the “official NM scholarship” - because a student can only receive ONE “official” NM scholarship.)</p>
<p>So, NM lets corporations and schools award THEIR scholarships first, and then NM gives out their $2500 scholarships to some of those who received nothing. So, the timing is a bit stretched. NM doesn’t give their awards out until late spring, while the others give theirs out in early spring (or late winter).</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but I think the NM award is a one time thing, while school and corporation awards are usually for all 4 years.</p>
