Rumour about UF NOT awarding all NM Finalists??? FIS Questions?

Hello all, I have read through several of these threads regarding the FIS for 2016-2017 and beyond and have seen nebulous mentions of UF discontinuing the $500 NM award for those NM finalists who are NOT corporate or NM $2500.00 awardees. I am happy to check with financial aid myself but would love to hear what the source of this unconfirmed information is? This was not what I have been told by UF as of August 2015.
