7,500 of the 15,000 or so finalists are awarded a scholarship from NMSC in the form of a one-time $2,500 merit award (approximately 2500 awarded), a corporate-sponsored award (1000 awarded), or a college-sponsored NM award that is attached to the specific sponsor that the NMF chooses as first choice (4000 awarded). Those 7500 are, technically, National Merit “Scholars” as far as NMSC is concerned. As far as many others are concerned, you are a “Scholar” if you get a monetary award in connection with your NMF status regardless of where it comes from
