Here’s the webpage that says ALL NMFs are Presidential Scholars & qualify for 1/2 tuition. You can call USC to confirm & ask them to send you an e-mai confirmation (tho we never did, just trusted what they told us on the phone). My S was a NMF & got 1/2 tuition Presidential as a NMF + a small NMF award + a small engineering merit award; all 3 are renewable for all 4 years, as long as he maintains at least a 3.0 and makes satisfactory progress toward his engineering degree.
