So I am a National Merit Finalist, and I just received word that I have been awarded a $1,000 per year corporate-sponsored scholarship. Does anyone know if I can accept this NM offer as well as the one offered by IU? I know in some cases you can only accept one national merit scholarship, so I am slightly confused.
Congratulation! Yes, the combined scholarship is $2K each year.
@ace550 Do you mind if I ask how you know this? Do you know anyone who has been administered both scholarships? I only ask because I have been receiving conflicting answers to this question…
External scholarships come into IU without cross-checking. Corporate is separate from anything IU administers. Believe me when I say they’ll take anyone’s money.
The worst that could happen is that one of them gets rescinded and you’re no worse off for trying… never gonna happen.
I have IU freshmen money, independent money, IU organization money, loans… its all green in the end.
@IUBOOS I just wasn’t sure because national merit doesn’t let you accept more than one national merit scholarship, but it gets kind of confusing with school and corporate scholarships along with the 2500 nm scholarships
