<p>I just got my acceptance letter to USC and am a national merit finalist. however, i didn't receive any news about potential scholarships in my acceptance letter. is that going to come later or did i not receive any?</p>
<p>I think to get the National Merit award you have to name USC as your first choice with NM Corp? Don’t know about any of the other awards (and barely know about NMF award).
Sorry…</p>
<p>The USC financial aid website says we’ll be notified by April 1, but it’s the info from last year. It also says that “Students will be contacted by the sponsoring agency,” so maybe that means NMSC will send a letter?</p>
<p>The 1/2 tuition scholarship is from USC, so USC will contact you. To receive the NMF-Presidential scholarship you must:</p>
<p>-Be a NMF
-Be accepted (congrats!)
-Name USC as your first-choice school by the deadline</p>
<p>At this point they may not yet have the confirmation that you are a NMF, so you might call or email admissions some time next week (no hurry) to let them know and ask politely if there is anything else they need.</p>
