<p>

</p>

<p>@TheJuanSoto - You have posted on different threads, such as [here[/url</a>] and [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1260550-full-ride-vs-recognition.html]here[/url”>Full ride vs. recognition - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums]here[/url</a>], saying that you are not a citizen and an H-4 Visa holder. </p>

<p>According to the [url=<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Scholarships and Recognition with PSAT/NMSQT - SAT Suite]NHRP</a> info page on College Board](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/fordham-university/1259022-scholarships.html]here[/url”>Scholarships - Fordham University - College Confidential Forums):
NHRP Eligibility Requirements
… Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. If you are a permanent resident, you must possess, or be in the process of obtaining, a visa or green card, …</p>

<p>On the PSAT answer sheet, there is an area under the heading “Questions to Determine Entry to National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) Programs” that asks “Are you a citizen of the United States?” The answer choices are:

  • Yes
  • No, but I am a U.S. lawful permanent resident (or have applied for permanent residence, the application for which has not been denied) and intend to become a U.S. citizen at the earliest opportunity allowed by law.
  • No</p>

<p>Based on your status, you cannot be a National Hispanic Scholar, and this was pointed out to you last December by [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1260550-full-ride-vs-recognition.html]mom2collegekids[/url”>Full ride vs. recognition - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums]mom2collegekids[/url</a>].
Since you did receive NHRP designation, you must have incorrectly chosen either answer #1 or answer #2. Furthermore, H-4 Visa holders are considered international applicants in the college application process.</p>
