<p>Does anyone know if if there is an extra application needed to be considered for the Elite Scholarships? If yes is the application invite only?</p>

<p>Also the following is from the National Merit Scholarship page on Auburn’s site.</p>

<pre><code> “University stipend for four years at $4,000 to $8,000 ($1,000 to $2,000 per year), dependingon eligibility as determined by National Merit Scholarship Corporation and financial need as determined through completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).”

<p>If FAFSA shows zero need does that mean 0 dollars?</p>

<p>I believe the elite scholarships are applied for by invitation only. The National Merit stipend is minimum $1,000 per year ($2,000 if there is need per FAFSA).</p>

<p>Penny(x3) is correct – you’ll get an invitation for the elite scholarship competition if your student is eligible. Competition is pretty tough for these awards. And yes, if your student is named a NMF, he or she will get at least $1000K a year, regardless of FAFSA. Note that the scholarship is divided up between the semesters, and the check doesn’t come until late Aug/early Sept. – at least this has been the case for my D.
Don’t forget to apply for departmental scholarships! It’s a separate application, and dates vary depending on the school.</p>
