<p>Are you asking how a NMSF becomes a NMF (and maybe a NMScholar)?</p>
<p>To go from NMSF (named in Sept of senior year) to NMF (named in late winter of senior year)…</p>
<p>1) keep your nose clean at school - you need the rec from your school</p>
<p>2) Take the SAT by Dec and have score sent to NMCorp - code 0085
(Typically a score over 2000 is considered good enough - altho some with scores of 1950 have reported making NMF.)</p>
<p>3) Receive the NMSF paperwork in September from your school (if you don’t get it by mid-Sept, ask your GC). Follow all the directions, write a nice essay, and return paperwork to school before the due date.</p>
<p>4) Check with school to make sure paperwork is submitted on time to NMCorp.</p>
<p>5) Keep your GPA strong at school; the school sends your transcript to NMCorp with your paperwork.</p>
<p>6) Don’t fret about picking #1 choice for college. That can be decided in late winter/early spring - depending on school’s deadline.</p>
<p>The kids who don’t make NMF after being named NMSF typically cause that to happen by…</p>
<p>1) bad behavior at school</p>
<p>2) poor academic performance (GPA issues)</p>
<p>3) didn’t do the paperwork, did it incorrectly, or submitted it too late.</p>
<p>4) wrote a rude/poor essay.</p>
<p>5) didn’t take the SAT, didn’t send score to NMCorp, and/or didn’t have a good SAT score (typically a score over 2000 is considered “safe.”)</p>
<p>Those who become a NMF can become a NMScholar if they get a NM scholarship from NMCorp, from a corporation, or from a college.</p>
