<p>Did anyone who put Northwestern as their first choice for National Merit hear anything about it yet? I've received my admissions packet, but there was no mention of it other than that financial aid materials would be sent separately.</p>
<p>It’ll be in your financial aid. It’s automatic.</p>
<p>If we change our first choice to NU will they still be able to give us that scholarship?</p>
<p>^Yes .</p>
<p>Is this award independent of financial need?</p>
<p>Also yes, though I have HEARD the amount varies from $500/yr to $2000/yr based on need. No evidence of that though.</p>
<p>National Merit Finalist? Put NU as #1? Matriculated? If you answered yes to all these questions, you will get money.</p>
