<p>I think last year national merit finalists were offered full rides. Is this still an option at UCF? I couldn't find anything about it on their page for merit scholarships. Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can offer!</p>
<p>bobbyjoe…Here’s a link to UCF’s NM page. There’s a newsletter on the page you can click on for info, as well as info for the NM coordinator(s). </p>
<p><a href=“https://admissions.ucf.edu/national-merit/[/url]”>https://admissions.ucf.edu/national-merit/</a></p>
<p>Thanks! I was a little confused because the wording seems very vague saying that you’ll only be “considered for a scholarship upon admission to UCF” and if you’re a NMF, you’ll “receive an increased scholarship amount” if you designate UCF your first choice. </p>
<p>I came across this newsletter from last year:
<a href=“https://admissions.ucf.edu/files/2012/09/NatMerit_2013.pdf[/url]”>https://admissions.ucf.edu/files/2012/09/NatMerit_2013.pdf</a></p>
<p>and on the second page it says that NMF have a “guaranteed scholarship.” I’m not to sure but from the description, it kind of looks like a full ride? And since the newsletter is from a year ago, I’m not sure if they still have that offer for NMFs…and I’m interested since I think I have a good shot at being an NMF.</p>
