<p>I currently am a NMF and go to OSU. Here’s what I can tell ya - I selected OSU as my number one school, am an out-of-state student, and received $3857 for the Distinguished Merit Scholar (for choosing them before March) and another $1000 for National Merit. Now, it isn’t much, but there are many more scholarships within the school. Getting into the Medalist/Presidential Scholarship is definitely a difficult thing too. I was not invited, and consider myself a very well rounded, well-tested student/athlete/musician/person. But then again, just remember, you can’t put a price on comfort and happiness in College.</p>
