<p>Does anybody know which colleges give out the best NMSF awards besides Alabama (since I'd be too late)? If you know of multiple, that would be great.</p>
<p>NMSF or NMF? Are you a senior not expecting to make NMF because of grades or something? People have been posting that Alabama extended their deadline to 1/6, so you can still apply if you hurry.</p>
<p>Have you looked at the sticky at the top of the page?

I’m not sure which deadlines have passed on the list, but in addition to Bama, you would still have time for University of New Mexico, which I believe is a full ride for NMF.</p>
<p>they are true yes</p>
<p>I am pretty sure this poster IS looking for backup options in case they don’t make it from NMSF to NMF. Is there anywhere they should apply ASAP to hedge their bets?</p>
<p>Auburn, Alabama, Mississippi State all have semi finalist scholarships…I think the last two for full tuition. Fordham does too but it is not automatic.
Some HBCUs do too (Florida A and M and NC Central, I think).
Knox college has a semifinalist award but it is not even close to full tuition.
I am sure there are more. It just takes some searching. Trust me as I searched!</p>

<p>You’re not too late for Bama…apply now, today!</p>
<p>What is your situation? Do you think that you’re not going to make NMF?</p>
<p>I suspect the OP thinks they “would” be too late to apply because they’re planning to wait until they find out about their finalist-or-not status first, which is probably a mistake, if they think there’s a reasonable chance they won’t make finalist.</p>
<p>OP, the scholarship thread at the top of this forum compiled by Bob Wallace has listings separately for NMF and NMSF where that info is known, and includes links to scholarship info so you can check current status of scholarship offerings. App due dates are not listed.</p>
<p>University of Louisiana-Lafayette has a 1/31 deadline. </p>
<p>Southern Miss has a semifinalist scholarship too. Not sure of deadline. Second the suggestion to check the scholarship thread for other SF offers.</p>
