I have just received notification that I am a National Merit Scholar from NMSC ($2500 award). I’ve looked through the relevant USC threads on CC and I’m a little confused about how to proceed. Last year, some people said you could choose between the $2500 NMSC award and the $1000/year for 4 years award from USC, while others said you could only choose the $2500. I have not accepted/declined the $2500 offer from NMSC yet. Today I called NMSC and they told me to talk to USC Financial Aid, which was too busy (I have called multiple times). I’d really appreciate it if someone could advise me on this issue!
