<p>Of course, should my son become a finalist and then he gets accepted at, and decided to attend, a school that offers a full ride, I can assume the corporate scholarship doesn’t get applied.</p>
<p>A student can actually get both, but in an indirect way. He can take the corporate scholarship which will be the “official” NMF scholarship. And, if a school offers him a free ride, then usually only $1k of it is considered “official” so you decline that $1k and get to accept the rest of the big NMF scholarship.</p>
<p>My son has an annual $2500 corporate NMF scholarship and a nearly-full-ride NMF scholarship from his college.</p>
