It is a new change. Fordham offered the National Merit full tuition scholarships for the entering class of 2025, but they no longer list it for the entering class of 2026 (those currently applying.)
Actually it was previously awarded for National Merit status or National Recognition Scholar status (e.g. Hispanic, African American, Native American etc.) Perhaps because of its location in the Bronx and its historic mission of educating the children of immigrants (and others that the Ivys would not take or placed tight quotas on), Fordham cared a lot about National Recognition Scholar status. So it is theorized that when the Supreme Court did away with scholarships designated for certain race/ethnicities, Fordham decided to scrap the National Merit requirement/designation as well.
