National Merit Scholarships

<p>Texasdaddy…Ohio State was one of the schools that our D1 applied to last year as an NMSF. They offered her the Maximus Scholarship ($3K per year), the National Buckeye ($8700 per year), was accepted into the Honors Program, and she would’ve had the $1K per year National Merit scholarship. We thought she had competitive stats to get invited to the Scholarship Weekend to interview for the Presidential or Medalist packages (3.99UW/4.15W, 36 ACT, 2400 SAT, solid EC’s) but she didn’t get invited.</p>

<p>$12,700 per year was definitely nothing to sneeze at, but it didn’t put nearly enough of a dent into the COA for an OOS student (around $34K per year tuition+room/board) so she looked to schools with better scholarship offers.</p>
