<p>Another close runner up school has made a transparent offer. If she lists the school that may offer the $6000 will she be allowed and have time to change her 1st choice school to the second school and still get their award?</p>
<p>Likely…but, seriously, call Nat’l Merit Corp 847-866-5100 </p>
<p>The people who answer the phone are super nice and very helpful advising with these situations. </p>
<p>Ask when students are notified if they are awarded a competitive college NMF scholarship. And, ask if there is time to switch #1 choice after that to a guaranteed college scholarship if the competitive one isn’t won. </p>
<p>Usually, the non-competitive ones (like from Bama) can be selected kind of late in the game. However, do ask to be sure.</p>
