There is a thread elsewhere (I think on the FA forum) that suggests this would not be likely to happen. The suggestion was that the $2500 awards go primarily to students whose first choice school does not sponsor NM awards, the idea being that this approach better spreads around the NM awards. In the case of WashU, even if you don’t get the $2500 NM sponsored award, finalists still qualify for a $2000/year WashU sponsored NM award, so not that much different.
