@HailuMu I had some of the same questions as you did. My son received his code yesterday and started his online app now just waiting for him to get the GC form returned to him. I wasn’t sure if this meant that he was up for consideration or he would be automatically receive this recognition once his GC confirms the info but he showed me the email today and it seems to read as if the kids just need to file their app by June and provide the confirmation (hispanic and GPA) and they receive this recognition. In September, if all goes well, the student receives their certificate and they can include this on the college app. Now, it’s not the same as the NMSF in that there is no money involved directly as there is with NMSF and the cut off is lower than the NMSF cut off; however, based on the schools my son is interested in the NMSF will be a prestigious addition to his college apps but the NHRP will be a bigger financial gain. Some schools don’t post what NMSF they will offer but do post what the NHRP offer is and it can be as good as $20K a year.
The confirmation form has to be returned to the applicant so make sure your daughter gets it back and uploads it with her app. Congratulations!
