National Merit Scholarships

<p>Aaah, the Distinguished scholarship was full tuition last year?? This year it’s only half. :frowning: RAWR.</p>

<p>Here’s my question:
If you designate OSU with NM by March, can you still change your designation later if you decide to go somewhere else?
Since most other schools with NM scholarships seem to require only that you have them designated by sometime in April, is there a downside to designating OSU right now?</p>
