they’ve already given you all the answers you need. It depends on the school and it takes a lot of time to do your homework and find all the NMF scholarships for each school. I spent the entire fall finding “NMF targets”. The list posted above is fairly accurate, but keep in mind that once you target the schools, you need to find out what additional application materials need to be submitted along with that college’s application, and supplement. For instance, at Denison U., you need to submit their Pashal Carter application and that’s for full tuition. They also offer an additional $2,000 to NMF, so yes, there’s “stacking”. It’s time consuming to find the schools you want to target, but there’s no way around researching each school separately, on their own websites. Some schools are listed on the NM affiliated paperwork you receive with the NM application in the fall, but don’t actually offer much in the way of merit award. For instance Kenyon offers just $2,500, UNC Chapel Hill $1-2,000. So you need to look up each one and determine which to “throw out” from you list to target. That’s not to say, don’t apply to certain schools, but if your going to focus on getting a full rides using NMF status, you need to know that NMF isn’t a sure way of getting $$ from colleges. The higher tier you go, the less they care. Denison is a gem, by the way --#33 nationally for Kiplingers’ Best College Buys. Good luck!
