Congratulations on becoming a NM finalist! I encourage you to contact Northeastern’s NM scholarship coordinator (information is on the website) if you have any questions about the process, so that you don’t miss any specific deadlines for 2013. My son found her very helpful last year when he had similar questions. FYI, here’s the timing he experienced in 2012: he applied RD, was accepted February 21 with a Dean’s scholarship, sent the paperwork naming Northeastern as his first choice to NMSC in early April, and received the formal letter awarding the National Merit scholarship (which replaced the Dean’s scholarship) on April 17, after NMSC confirmed his choice to Northeastern. Once you are certain you will attend Northeastern, you must notify NMSC of your choice. Although my son sent a copy of his NM award certificate to Northeastern, the trigger for the scholarship last year was the formal notification to NMSC that he had selected Northeastern.
