<p>iLoveNewYork15: Lucky you! My D’s was even smaller than yours. So congratulations!</p>
<p>We got lucky based on above posts. D rec’d letter yesterday - $27K. However, even with this scholarship, school will still not be affordable. Maybe with financial aid??
Good luck to everyone in the upcoming two months!</p>
<p>Wow!! Congratulations susancani!</p>
<p>Fordham advertises a full tuition scholarship for NMF. Is this fairly automatic or do scholarships for NMFs vary? This has a huge impact on my decision.</p>
<p>
It’s actually for NMSFs. I got mine with my acceptance in December (before I “officially” became a NMF, since it is the “Semifinalist Scholarship”). Fordham gives out over 300 a year, according to some sources, though not nearly that many enroll. It isn’t automatic, it is competitive, but not very competitive. For example, at the time of my application, I had a 3.63 GPA and a 2160 SAT (both of which have since increased). While my SAT was above Fordham’s norm, my GPA was below it. I believe there were a few NMSFs on this website that said they didn’t get it, though.</p>
<p>We were at the admitted student event yesterday and ate lunch next to a girl who is a NM finalist. She told us she got a merit scholarship, and then a while later an email saying there had been a mistake in her FA award (at first her heart sank; she thought they were withdrawing it!)—it was notification of a full-ride scholarship. </p>
<p>Her mother is delighted of course but she is still waiting to hear from some other schools.</p>
<p>
How was it? I’m going to one this Friday. Which campus did you go to?</p>
