<p>I am a National Achievement Semifinalist and am also up for a Special Scholarship because if my dad's job. Is there any way I can get both awards or is it just one or the other?</p>
<p>Are you asking if you can get two scholarships? </p>
<p>not every finalist gets a scholarship…are you applying to a school that gives an official NA scholarship? If so, which one?</p>
<p>I’m asking if its possible for me to get both.
I’ve been accepted to UCF and UGA, but I’m still waiting on FSU (my first choice), UF, and Northwestern.</p>
<p>You cannot accept two “official” NA scholarships. However, if a school offers you a big NA scholarship then ask them what part is the “official” part. Usually you can decline the “official” part, keep the rest and then get the corporate NA scholarship.</p>
<p>My son declined the official $1k part of the NMF scholarship at Bama, kept the rest of it, and then accepted the corporate NMF scholarship from my H’s company.</p>
<p>Ok that sounds good… :)</p>

<p>Wait, you’re a national achievement semifinalist? How did you find out? And what was your score?</p>
<p>I’m just asking because I really hope I qualified to be a semifinalist for the National Achievement Scholarship.</p>
<p>I found out in like September from my guidance counselor at school. I got a 189 which is really low so I was suprised…</p>

<p>One last question, almostthere13. What state are you from? If you don’t feel comfortable posting it, can you just PM me? I just want to figure out my chances of making semifinalist because I live in MA, with one of the highest NMS cutoffs.</p>
<p>Ohhh I live in Florida </p>
