<p>So, I am a NM Semifinalist in Texas, and since UT will do nothing to woo me, I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten A&M's National Merit scholarships. Looking at the website, there are 3 that add up to $9,150 or so per year, which would take care of tuition, plus a $2000 stipend for freshmen year, and they say that I would "likely" get all of them.</p>
<p>I'm asking specifically why A&M would bother dividing them into separate scholarships when the only requirement is being a National Merit Finalist. It looks like there is some catch or something...</p>
<p>Also, is there a good chance of getting the National Merit scholarships as well as other scholarships from the college?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
