With the results for NMF coming out, I have a question.

For my S’s case (I am assuming he moves to the finalist), he didn’t choose any particular college in the application form. So, that means no college sponsored scholarship for my S. We, the parents, are not employed in any of sponsor companies.

Then, it seems like only possibility left is $2500 merit scholarship from the foundation. Last year, there were three finalists in our school district, but none of them got $2500 scholarship and I thought it was very though to get that.

I guess what I am wondering is what are profiles of those who get $2500 NM scholarship and if the finalists do/can submit extra materials to win $2500 scholarship.
