<p>CA cut off is 219, so 225 is good. Is your son applying for this year or for next. If it is for this year, most notifications have been made for corporate scholarships and if you have not received one, you should call and check. If it is for next year, then you have time.</p>
<p>The $2500 is one time, so the 6 K is always better and corporate scholarships are usually easier to get as there may not be many applicants. Again, it varies from company to company.</p>
<p>About 1/6 of the NMSF’s get the $2500 scholarship, so it is competitive and higher PSAT does help but I would not rule out your child from being considered. But you should make sure you follow all the rules for the 6K scholarship as that will be best. You cannot get both.</p>
