<p>So i'm a national merit scholarship finalist and I'm debating what to put as my first college choice... anyone have any info on how much UNC shells out to the national merit kids? or maybe how its related to their extraneous merit aid?</p>
<p>They give $1000 a year. It's not much, but it's something.</p>
<p>It's $1000 per year but it is on top of any other scholarships you might receive, and they don't deduct from the others awards as a result which some schools do.</p>
