I am wondering how (if possible) to get a full tuition scholarship through a national merit finalist award AND a room/board (or any additional $) award (or financial aid).

In other words, once you receive a full tuition award (if that is the most the school offers for NMF), can the student also receive another merit award or any financial aid assistance (outside of loans) to help make a “full ride” an option?

Repeating myself, but asking the question differently.

Let’s say that our EFC is $7000, but the difference between full tuition and COA is $10,000. Would there be any sort of award for the $3000 difference (or more if we’re lucky)?

Thank you.
