I don’t remember exactly how many scholarships come directly from them, but I don’t think it is very many.



There are 2500 NMSC-sponsored awards, which with 15,000 finalists gives reasonable odds of NOT winning. A lot of these applications hinge on the essay — with the September app deadline, your NM essay was probably one of the first ones you wrote; I imagine your later college and PSP ones were much better.
