<p>Though the letter for NMF scholar ($2500 ) is getting sent out today, you can check the decision online at osa.nationalmerit.org.</p>
<p>My D got the one time award of $2500 to the college of her choice. </p>
<p>Congrats! What were her stats?</p>
<p>Where would you see this? By the way, Congrats!</p>
<p>@disneydebk, My daughter logged into her account. It is at the top.</p>
<p>Congratulations! You have been offered a scholarship. Please complete Step 4 below.</p>
<p>Now there is step 4. Before, there were only three steps , third step being her school address. Step 4 has a pdf of the letter that was mailed home today.</p>
<p>@ROCKFISHDG, her academic stat: 233 PSAT, 2400 (first sitting) SAT, 8 APs - all 5, 4.0 GPA, very selective science award. </p>
<p>Congrats! Great stat.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information! I just logged on and discovered my daughter was awarded a $2,500 MNSC scholarship. If anyone is interested, here are her stats: from Kansas, PSAT: 225, SAT: 2220, 36 ACT, 5 AP tests with scores of all 5s, 4.0 GPA, Honor Band of America musician, Election Day student worker, $500 Scholarship award for volunteer excellence at local hospital, Youth Advisory board member for local youth volunteer agency, essay about coping with lifelong food allergies. Hope that info helps someone else-this board has been so useful to us! </p>
<p>Yes, thank you for posting this. My D was also awarded the $2,500 award.
Here are her stats:
State: Alabama

SAT: 2350

GPA: 4.0 UW
Lots of EC’s, especially involving children with learning disabilities and music (voice and piano), national level awards in math and the sciences</p>
<p>Awwww I don’t see anything on mine:(</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of you that received it. I am not surprised that my D would not get it as her EC is rather weak. She is happy with whatever she got already anyway. </p>
<p>Yay! The kid received one, too. SAT 2330 (800/800/80(6), LOL), National AP Scholar 10th grade, 500+ service hours, multi-year independent research project.</p>
<p>Does anyone know for a fact that ALL of the $2500 scholarships have been awarded? Or, are they possibly awarded and posted in waves?</p>
<p>Too bad my account is locked from too many incorrect login attempts…</p>
<p>I’m also wondering about the same thing @woods1234</p>
<p>There is no mention of waves in this document :
<a href=“http://www.nationalmerit.org/Merit_R&I_Leaflet.pdf”>http://www.nationalmerit.org/Merit_R&I_Leaflet.pdf</a>
Note that it says “begins” for Corporate Sponsored March 12th and “begins” is missing for $2500 award March 27th</p>
<p>I got it! SAT 2390, 5s on 6 APs, >600 volunteer hours. A good chunk towards Stanford!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who became National Merit Scholars. Would that be it ? I have heard that they are sending letters in waves until May. My daughter did not get anything yet and no new information is available online.
Would she still be hopeful ?</p>
<p>My daughter also received the $2500 award. This should free her from most of the term-time work obligation for next year. Congrats to her!</p>
