Let’s say you score a 205 on the PSAT. That is above the Commended level for the NM Scholarship Corp. and above the state level for the National Hispanic Recognition Program. Do you have to choose only one designation?

I ask because some college websites seem to give scholarship money for being a NHScholar but not for being Commended. Generally the Commended cutoff is higher than the NHS cutoff so numerically it looks better, but if ds picks the Commended designation, is he leaving money on the table?
