Thanks. We are a great school for the right student! Iā€™m predicting about 15% of the freshman class to be NMSFs.

Iā€™m not sure who updates this, but the in state scholarship for University of Missouri is * Full Tuition and Fees

  • $3,500 additional annual stipend
  • $10,940 one-year on-campus housing and dining
  • $2,000 research/study abroad support (one-time award)
  • $1,000 tech enrichment (one-time award)

Plus most in state students will also qualify for Bright Flight which is an additional $3000 per year.

And out of state is 22,500 renewable yearly.

A reminder that, once a year, your student will receive a letter from NMSC asking them to renew their scholarship. They will be at college and the letter will likely be sent to your home address. There is a short turn around on getting it submitted. We received our letter today and it is due March 22.

How do Finalists get their NMF diplomas? My son has not received one via either school or snail mail.

793

Do they get anything beyond the letter confirming they are a finalist? Thatā€™s all our son got. Even after prompting the school never acknowledged he was a finalist and didnā€™t pass on anything they had received.

I saw Finalist diplomas mentioned here and there. I might be wrong.

The high school said they will present a certificate at the senior awards night at our school.

796

Ah, thatā€™s probably it. Thank you.

Our high school purposefully excludes academic awards from their senior awards night so I guess weā€™re out of luck on the certificatesā€¦

My daughter came home with a certificate a few weeks ago. I believe NM mailed the certificates to each school.

Thatā€™s hilarious! They should only have academic awards. It is an educational institution.

When do students hear about scholarship information?

803

Iā€™m not sure if it is published anywhere. The information was given over the phone per my previous post. Please give them a call if you have questions, they are very helpful.
