<p>UChicago does not give much of a NM scholarship to begin with (between $1000 to $2000 a year).</p>

<p>*National Merit Finalists</p>

<p>National Merit Finalists are granted awards from one of three sources: the National Merit Corporation, a sponsoring corporation, or from the University of Chicago. If you are a finalist in this competition, simply report to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation that the University of Chicago is your first choice school. Awards can range from $500 to $6,000, and are available for one to four years. If your award is sponsored by the University of Chicago, it will be in the amount of $1,000 (for students with no financial need) or $2,000 (for students with financial need) and is renewable for four years.

<p>I do not believe NMSC will give an award for last years applicant. UChicago might or might not (talk to them) but I kind of doubt it. So you may be out of luck at UChicago.</p>

<p>Not sure about UIllinois UC</p>
