Last year, when my S was a senior & NMF, he got a letter saying he was NOT selected to interview for a merit award; the letter also stated that IF he was a NMF & chose USC as his 1st choice by NMC’s deadline, he would get a 1/2 tuition Presidential NMF scholarship.
We called USC admissions & financial aid for our area to confirm. He did list USC as his 1st choice sometime in April or May & was given the 1/2 tuition Presidential Scholarship + a small NM award + a small engineering merit award. All awards are renewable for all 4 years, as long as requirements are met.
