^^^ Thanks BobWallace and Meliora. Our D will be going to Bama. No NMF rejection letter yet, but still waiting for the snail mail letter from NMSC (her HS school has said nothing … grrrr). So assuming she is a NMF, then she’ll get the $1K/year from Bama. But I was concerned that by naming Bama early it would take her out of the running for the NMSC $2500 scholarship. I know I have read posts from others (maybe M2CK) that Bama NMFs can be in the running for the $2500. I didn’t know if committing early to Bama as first choice took a NMF out of contention for the $2500, since NMFs choosing Bama are automatically “Scholars.”
