“Example: Tulsa - In order to be qualified for the competitive full ride at Tulsa, a student MUST name Tulsa the 1st choice by March 1. This effectively blocks the student from receiving the $2,500 for NMCorp.”

I have the same question as drw4taww’s. Will the NMSC choose the winners of the $2500 scholarship only from the pool of the finalists who have not reported their first choice schools? I know they do pick the winners of the corporate-sponsored scholarships first and then choose the $2500 recipients.

I read the NMS info in a college of interest and it clearly says that the finalists can only receive one type of the NM scholarships but it will give $2000 to the $2500 merit scholars in the next 3 years.
