NMSC scholarships are given to only 2500 of the 8000 odd award winners. I was told somewhere that corporate scholarships were about 1000 and the remaining were college scholarships. Again some colleges give $500 a year, some are very generous, not all the college winners give good scholarships.

TP hence, if you did not get the $2500 NMSC scholarship or a corporate scholarship, then it does depend upon the college you choose. So if you had chosen a college that gives NM scholarship, then you might have got one. None of the ivy leagues give NM scholarship for example, so if you went to a ivy league college, you have to get the scholarship from another source, not the college. Hope that explains it.
