We received the notification of the National Merit $2500 Scholarship on March 27. The letter was postmarked March 24, and that was the “Offer Date” on the letter as well. We live in PA. The reply date is April 4.

I don’t believe that the offer means an acceptance at that college; just that you identified that school as your first choice to attend if accepted. You can change the name of the school you plan to attend; there is a form to submit, and the NMSC approves the change.

I would think wherever you plan to attend would be fine – it just needs to be a baccalaureate degree, no service academy, and meet the other stipulations of the terms.
