<p>My son, a NM freshman at UF told me this was announced in the school paper. He's still covered but it comes as sad news to us.</p>
<p>Wow that's a surprise...</p>
<p>So existing NM's will continue to get theirs for the remainder of their 4 years?</p>
<p>He said they weren't taking new ones but those already with NM contracts will continue to get their scholarship money. I think the other big schools giving NM money were UT at Austin and Kansas. Not sure but my memory is that those were the ones he heard from the most.</p>
<p>UT Austin only gives $4000 first year, $3000 subsequent years - but, ifyou are out of state, they also give a nonresident tuition waiver, if I remember correctly. :) And my understanding of UF was that they were doing away with the full-rides, but were continuing other smaller NMF scholarships. (I could be wrong.)</p>
