National Merit Finalists rejected from University of Florida?

We are wondering too. If you read the fine print of the Benacquisto you must get some sort of merit scholarship from the college, a corporation or the NM Corp. UCF has been very encouraging, telling NMFs that they will FOR SURE be given a merit scholarship to ensure they will get the Benacquisto, but my daughter has not heard anything from UF (which she named as her first choice on her NM application). Now we’re on “pins and needles” waiting to be assured that she will get this at UF also. How long is the wait???
