<p>A NMF can become a National Merit Scholar and get money 3 ways…</p>
<p>1) he can be one of the students chosen to receive the one time 2500 NMCorp scholarship (I think 2500 are chosen…a portion from each state…usually those with really high scores).</p>
<p>2) he can receive a corporate scholarship…usually given to the children of employees of a corporation that offers a NM scholarship.</p>
<p>3) he can go to a college that awards a NMF scholarship. If a student chooses to attend a school that gives every NMF student a NMF scholarship, then that NMF student can be assured of being named a NMScholar and be assured to receive NMF money.</p>
