<p>Congrats that your son is a NMSF (and likely NMF)… BTW…has he submitted all his paperwork to his school for submission? And, have you sent his SAT score to NM Corp?</p>
<p>If your son is a NMF, as an engineering major at UA, he would get tuition, room, computer, $1000 stipend, study abroad $. I imagine that due to his scores, he’ll likely also be awarded the $2500 annual Engineering scholarship (if he applies and enters UA as an engineering major). </p>
<p>I don’t think UAB has its 2010 scholarships posted on their webpage like they’ve done in previous years. Have they given you any idea what they’ll give a NMF? Have you directly asked them? </p>
<p>Is your son’s plan to become a MD? </p>
<p>BTW…does anyone know why on the UA Mechanical Engineering webpage it mentions that some of its Mechanical Engineers work as Bio-medical Engineers? I realize that UA doesn’t have that unique specialty (because UAB has it), but what is the deal with Mech eng’r? Are there duplication of courses? Do some Mech Eng’rs minor or dbl major in some kind of Bio-Chem program which kind of “looks” like a Bio-medical engineering major?</p>
