<p>Hi, I was recently accepted into Marshall as a spring admit. I understand that all National Merit Finalists who name USC as their first choice automatically get the half-tuition Presidential Scholarship. But does this apply to spring admits as well? </p>
<p>I have already made USC my first choice school through National Merit and I am only able to attend if I do receive the presidential scholarship.</p>
<p>Any National Merit Finalists out there who were also spring admits and have experience with this situation? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, Spring admits get the NMF Presidential scholarship. Congratulations!!! Hopefully FauxNom will pop in to give you some advice - her S was a Spring admit and a NMF and called to ask about the Scholarship and was very pleased with how things turned out.</p>
<p>You have been given excellent advice. It might be an idea to call Ms. Frye, Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Marshall. Let her know you have been named a NMS. Her phone is: 213 740 8885. If you have received any other new honors, include those as well. Good luck.</p>
<p>Yes, that’s right. We were concerned about this last year, and the financial aid and admissions people I talked to confirmed the eligibility is no different for Spring Admits. Congratulations!</p>
