<p>Hi, I was wondering if there are any differences between the two. I know they both offer half-tuition and one requires an interview, but are NM finalists considered the same as regular Presidential scholars in terms of housing, honors consideration, etc.?</p>

<p>Yes there is no difference at all. Both are considered the Presidential Scholarship. NMF receive the additional $1000 scholarship per year but it is completely separate.</p>
