<p>You are my hero. Thank you!</p>
<p>As Keil notes…</p>
<p>The Alabama scholarship gives free tuition, free housing, and a few other goodies.</p>
<p>AND…if you major in Engineering or Comp Sci and have an ACT of 30+ or SAT of 1330+ (M+CR) and a 3.5 GPA, you’ll get an additional $2500 per year stacked on top. That pretty much makes the NMF scholarship a full-ride.</p>
<p>I’m adding this because some thought you couldn’t get both scholarships, but you can.</p>
<p>^^You’re welcome!</p>
<p>mom2 - But you lose the scholarship if you change your major, right? Engineering/CS is relatively restrictive, given how many people DON’T major in either of those two areas.</p>
<p>U of Dallas is now full tuition for NM - ~ $18K/year. NMSemi is at least $12K/year.</p>
<p>They have been a moving target the past few years, having done full tuition previously - they just returned to it this year.</p>
<p>Yes, you would lose the $2500 per year if you change your major to something not CS or engineering (and area of engineering). Of course you keep the NM scholarship, if you change your major. </p>
<p>I only mentioned it for 2 reasons…</p>
<p>1) Some thought you couldn’t receive this engineering/comp sci scholarship, if you got the NM scholarship.</p>
<p>2) Some apply as undeclared major (even if they intend to major in eng’g or CS) and then they miss out. </p>
<p>And, while you’re right that many college students don’t major in either area, the odd thing is that many NMF do major in one or the other (maybe more males than females).</p>
<p>Florida State is missing from that list.</p>
<p>They don’t post it anywhere on the website, but here are the details: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s supposedly somewhat competitive, but I was told to just call to reserve my spot ASAP after (read: if) I received my finalist letter.</p>
<p>(you can call to verify if need be)</p>
<p>Dnerd…You’ll make it. :)</p>
<p>It sounds like rejection letters went out 2 weeks ago for NMF, so likely that’s when they went out for NA finalists, too!</p>
<p>I hope you’re right!</p>
<p>Updated UDallas. I’m not adding Florida State according to new spelled-out guidelines for Honorable Mention, below. Please include a link to your information source if you can, to save me searching individual websites (which is how this compilation was put together, painstaking manual searches of any name that popped up in relation to NMF scholarships).</p>

o Must guarantee at least 5k or full tuition competitive to be eligible for Honorable Mention.

<p>^ I’m not exactly sure what you meant by that. I just said that there is no link for it. You have to call the FSU Financial Aid office. I don’t see why it doesn’t qualify since it provides $6k per year (more than the necessary $5k). Even if it doesn’t deserve whatever you deem “honorable mention”, I don’t see why it shouldn’t be added onto the list at all so people know about it.</p>
<p>Sorry about that - link for U of Dallas</p>
<p>[University</a> of Dallas - Scholarships & Awards](<a href=“404 - Page Not Found - University of Dallas”>404 - Page Not Found - University of Dallas)</p>
<p>HM, no worries, I checked up on UDallas–just for future notices.</p>
<p>Dnerd - FSU is 6k competitive because there are a limited number of scholarships awarded. The Honorable Mention criteria is 5k+ guaranteed or full tuition+ competitive. The regular criteria is full tuition+ guaranteed. This is not meant to be a comprehensive compilation, because far too many schools offer small amounts of NMF merit.</p>
<p>I didnt see George Washington University on the list.</p>
<p>*National Scholarships
GW guarantees Presidential Academic Scholarships in amounts of $15,000 per year to National Merit Finalists, National Achievement Finalists, and National Hispanic Scholars who meet the following eligibility requirements.</p>
<pre><code>* National Merit and National Achievement finalists must select GW as their college of choice with the National Merit Corporation and be selected by that organization as a National Merit Finalist or a National Achievement Finalist.
- National Hispanic Scholars must be designated by the College Board as a National Hispanic Scholar in the National Hispanic Recognition Program.*
</code></pre>
<p>[Scholarship</a> and Merit Awards - The George Washington University](<a href=“http://www.gwu.edu/apply/undergraduateadmissions/payingforcollege/scholarships]Scholarship”>http://www.gwu.edu/apply/undergraduateadmissions/payingforcollege/scholarships)</p>
<p>Understandable. It’s still $24k though, which is more than some of the ones on that list (although they are guaranteed, so I know they have different criteria)</p>
<p>Dnerd, 6k/year is a greater amount than exactly one school–Macalester, which is 5k guaranteed. Please note that all $$ amounts listed are per year, not total.</p>
<p>I’ve added GWU to my personal copy of the list but won’t repost so soon after the last repost.</p>
<p>^ The North Central and Gordon C ones say they offer 3/4 tuition (6k a year is well over 3/4 tuition at FSU), the Southern Methodist U offers half tuition + 2k, U of SC only offers half tuition, etc.</p>
<p>I wasn’t trying to make a big deal out of it though. I just think the current rules/standards set up are pretty dumb since they exclude some good scholarships at more than a few schools, some of which have a total value of more than ones in the list.</p>
<p>6k a year is over 3/4 tuition at FSU? Really? One year of OOS tuition is 19k.</p>
<p>[Estimated</a> Undergraduate Basic Costs](<a href=“http://www.fsu.edu/students/prospective/undergraduate/finances/costs.html]Estimated”>http://www.fsu.edu/students/prospective/undergraduate/finances/costs.html)</p>
<p>North Central, Gordon, Southern Methodist, and USC are all private schools with corresponding tuition costs much higher than an in-state public. Notice that in-state guaranteed full tuition still falls under Honorable Mention, because few students using this resource will be in-state at any given school. In any case, the total value of $24k off tuition at FSU is less than any listed scholarship amount except Macalester (see below).</p>
<p>Again, this is not a list of “good NMF scholarships.” It began as a list of full tuition+ NMF scholarships and was expanded to include what I consider significant scholarship amounts under full tuition. Normally a school like Macalester, the lowest $$ amount listed, would be omitted; however, 5k is more than the 1-2k that most schools of Macalester’s caliber offer, so I thought it was a true “honorable mention.”</p>
<p>Well I was obviously talking about in-state tuition, so I still respectfully disagree with your statement. But… okie dokie. I didn’t know you were only considering OOS financing in this topic.</p>
<p>…Obviously? Where was the obviousness in your previous posts? Please quote it for me. I’m not being snarky, just honestly mystified.</p>
<p>You sound like you’re getting defensive over nothing, tbh. The “obviously” is implied when I said that 6k was well over 3/4 of FSU’s tuition. Based on your post count, I assumed that you knew that wasn’t true for OOS tuition. Then there’s the fact that on the link you posted, it’s clear that in-state tuition is the one that’s under 6k… I would think that this makes it obvious.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Btw, can you explain to me what this means? I only ever here Canadian people use it (even in the one video game I heard it on, Avril Lavigne was voicing the character).</p>
