<p>Thanks. S is a finalist and H's company is a corporate sponsor. He hasn't received anything as yet. We were hoping it would come yesterday, but nothing. Perhaps today...</p>
<p>Oh, dear. I was keeping myself from obsessing based on Worrywort's post that her son didnt' hear until April some years ago; now I will be rushing to the mailbox for the next few days.</p>
<p>fredmar, fftd and ROCHMOM are talking about a different type of scholarship than was I. My S is waiting to hear about a "Special Scholarship" for non-finalists. So I'm trying not to obsess... yet!</p>
<p>Yes, I think my daughter's is a Special Scholarship also, she was not a finalist - so we are still talking April notification?</p>
<p>Possibly. That was my experience previously.</p>
<p>Thanks WW, I hope we both get good news, whenever it comes. FM</p>
<p>I just called NMSC; they told me that it takes a few weeks to process the corporate scholarship. I work for a sponsor company, and for this specific company the letters will be sent out in the next few business days. So let?s hope for the best.</p>
<p>Hi Foxwolf, I'm a bit fuzzy on your post. Is your child a candidate for a "Special Scholarship" for non-NMSC finalists? Or is s/he a NMSC finalist who is anticipating a corporate award rather than one from a university?</p>
<p>Hi Worrywart, my d is a NMSC finalist. I hope she can get the corporate award, but so far she did not hear anything.</p>
<p>My finalist S still hasn't heard anything from H's sposoring company/NMSC either. I'm trying to be patient. Glad you called NMSC Foxwolf</p>
<p>Good luck to you both! The wait is a misery.</p>
<p>My daughter received the letter today. She got the corporate award from NMSC. </p>
<p>$2,000 per year for 4 years. We are very happy.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.</p>
<p>Congrats, Foxwolf. My son received a 4-year Special Scholarship today as we had hoped. Best to all on this thread.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you both! Worrywort, I guess you can stop worrying now, that is a nice award. The one my daughter is waiting on is a one time only award, not all four years, but it would be nice nonetheless. We'll keep waiting, hope springs eternal. FM</p>
<p>congrats to everyone for the corporate scholarships! for the rest of us who aren't so lucky with the corporate sponsored ones =( haha I wish I had 2000 for 2 years! lol but I did get informed today in the mail that I got the $2,500 merit scholarship from Nationl Merit Corporation today! =]</p>
<p>My husband's company only awards $500 unless you have financial need as demonstrated by the CSS Profile submitted to the NM corporation. My d got the $500 and we'll send in the CSS profile but we're very unlikely to get more. Hey, but at least she got $500 and the honor.</p>
<p>Good luck, fredmar! I will continue to worry on your behalf.</p>
<p>S got $1,000 for each of 4 years. Don't know if we'll do the profile for possibility of more. Sent acceptance in today. Surprised by how quickly they wanted a response - seemed odd since everything else they do takes sooo long.</p>
<p>I still haven't received notice of the $2500 scholarship in the mail. Around what date do you think all hope for receiving is gone?</p>
<p>I'm really anxious right now! If anyone has an answer, I'd really appreciate it.</p>
<p>it depends on which college you list as your first choice i believe.</p>
<p>i received my letter today! good luck fencingking!</p>
