<p>AnagramPanda,</p>
<p>Talk to the SCHOOL IN QUESTION.</p>
<p>My daughter goes to a school that gives $2,000/year to NMFs. If a student is given the $2,500 by NMSC, the school lets the student take it from NMSC, and then matches it with $2,500 for the following 3 years, (that way the student gets more money, while the school spends less). I am pretty sure that most schools will have a similar system in place.</p>
