National Merit Scholars

<p>At schools that give any merit aid to NMFs, all NMFs enrolled = NM Scholars. At schools that do not give merit money to NMFs only NMFs who got money from NMC or other corporations are NM scholars (others are just finalists). Northwestern gives $500-2000 to NM finalists who enroll, so all their “finalists” become “scholars”, so they have more NM Scholars than, say, Stanford, where NMFs get nothing from the school, so only the NMFs who dot NMC scholarships or corporate scholarships count as NM Scholars.</p>
