<p>First, let me say that the situation totally sucks – I’m a one-time $2500 NM scholarship winner as well. However, I think the amount for the Northwestern-sponsored 4 year scholarship actually ranges from $500 to $2000 annually, depending on your financial need. (I know someone who only gets $500 a year.) So thinking about it that way, you might have only gotten $2000 over the four years. And I’d say $2500 is better than $2000…</p>
