<p>My son just got a letter to notice him that he is a National Merit Scholarship $2500 award winner. I am wondering whether this money can be used as romm and boarding expense?</p>
<p>It depends scholarship to scholarship. I got a few my senior year that could only be used for tuition, but some said they could be used for “any school expenses”, including books, room, board, ect. Since NMS is such a large scholarship program, it would be easy to find out the “terms” and such. Good luck =)</p>
<p>Yes, it can.</p>
