Could Someone Clarify NMS Selection Process?

<p>My recollection is that the official NM Scholars were chosen from those that did NOT get a corporate or college scholarship</p>

<p>NO… there’s no such thing as “official” NM Scholars are the ones who get the one-time $2500. Any student who receives an official NM scholarship from a corporation, a college, or from NMCorp becomes a National Merit Scholar.</p>
