$1000/year National Merit Scholarship?

<p>Madbean,</p>

<p>We’re happy. Son is ecstatic to be a Trojan and turned down admission to Stanford and some other great schools because he fell in love with USC on his Explore visit. We won’t pursue the NM Scholy thing any further than the first phone call. Yes, in my post above I noted S2 received the Trustee Scholarship (full tuition). It was then converted to the new Stamps Scholarship , which is the same as Trustee with an additional $5k enrichment fund. So it would be hard to complain further about the change in NM Scholarship. His NMF scholarship showed up on his usconnect FA site first a few weeks ago. It was first posted as the USC $1,000/year award. I don’t know if other students have received their FA notices or not, but it doesn’t seem “so soon” to know about it by now, it being after May 1st. He was notified of admission to USC in January so maybe they had a head start on his file.<br>
fight on.</p>
