<p>Menloparkmom, NC Mom,</p>
<p>Menloparkmom, I am sorry you have confused me and other parents here.</p>
<p>This is the post from you back in 2008. Take a look at post #26 and #27</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/460393-nmf-vs-corporate-sponsored-sholarship-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/460393-nmf-vs-corporate-sponsored-sholarship-2.html</a></p>
<p>This morning I talked to NMSC and they said once my son acceptted NMSC corporate-sponsor scholarship award, then he will not get the $1000 college award/year from USC managed by NMSC after he admitted to USC in the Fall. However, they will still forward my son name to USC.</p>
<p>As far as the USC National Merit Finalist Presidential Scholarship concern, NMSC said it is NOT managed by them. They do not know anything about it. </p>
<p>The USC financial officer that I talked this morning, also confirm that my son will be eligible to receive USC National Merit Finalist Presidential Scholarship together with the NMSC corporate sponsor scholarship.</p>
<p>That is exactly what I understood from my previous years with my other sons.</p>
