$1000/year National Merit Scholarship?

<p>I’ve tried searching on other threads, but couldn’t find an answer, so I’ll ask here: Is the additional $1000/year scholarship from USC NMF Presidential guaranteed to all NM Finalists who claim USC as his/her first choice? Or is it only available for NM Scholars?</p>

<p>As of right now, I am a NMF who claimed USC as my first choice, so I know I will be getting the Half-Tuition Presidential. Would I also receive the $1000/year scholarship?</p>
