<p>I know this is discussed sort of ongoing, I just want to add another question :-).</p>
<p>S will be NMF. I know notifications are coming soon. When he was selected NMSF, he declared a school as his first choice that offers NM $. This school may or may not be his real first choice.</p>
<p>If he chooses to attend another school with no NM $, we don't want him to lose out on the possibility of the $2500 one time for NMC. Should we urgently change to "undecided" for first choice before NMF notifications are received? Any idea of the timing of when they decide who/if to give the one time money to?</p>
<p>I do not have anything to fax/mail/email to NMC, so please let me know what information they need and the number to fax it to.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Here’s their contact information. Why don’t you call and ask them directly? They’ve been very helpful when I’ve called them in the past. Best of luck to your son!</p>
<p>Anyone heard about their finalist standing yet, or are the letters just being mailed to schools this week?</p>

<p>If the school that is offering the big NMF scholarship doesn’t require your son to name them before May 1st, then change to undecided.</p>
<p>The form is on the NMCorp website…fill it out and fax it in.</p>
<p>Thanks both for the info.</p>
<p>NMC says it does not matter which, if any, schools you have on your “first choice” in regards to receiving the $2500 one time award. The committee has already met for those and they have been determined. </p>
<p>Which school you have only matters in regards to the official offer you receive. She mentioned to pay attention to page 3 of the rules, in regards to deadlines, etc.</p>
