Thank you!
The 3 digit code is what the students would have selected (bubbled) in their test regarding their potential college major when they took their PSAT. The full list can be found here:

I would say that many Seniors are not yet sure what they want to Major in let alone being able to say with conviction about this when they take PSAT as a Junior!! I believe this is one way for colleges that want to target specific scholars with the programs they offer closely aligned with the proposed majors…
Does anyone, please, please, please have access to the New Jersey press release? My local paper apparently has no interest in publishing it, and I am having a difficult time finding whoever has it at the newspaper to see if I can get a copy. The only list I have found online includes counties other than the one I live in, and I would love to have a copy of the release for the scrapbook. Many thanks!!!
@NJDad00 - you can see all of the NJ students here. Scroll down a bit:
Does anyone by chance have the list of Colorado semifinalists? I contacted the local paper, but they said that they don’t publish it.
Thank you VERY much!!! That is exactly what I was looking for, and I obviously did not look hard enough! 
Does anyone have the north Carolina list?
Anyone got the Georgia list? Thanks
Does anyone have the Kansas list? I would love for someone to share it with me. Thanks!
Here’s Rhode Island’s NMSF list:

Does anyone have a Florida list? TIA
Nevermind
Hi,
Finally our school has a meeting with kids and give them the merit application packet today.
Apart from the Yolasite which lists all the colleges that could provide merit aid, is there a national merit database that shows these opportunities for reduced tuition? I am interested in seeing where other finalists applied which should give a good idea.
Pl advice,
There’s this thread:

My son will be going to UT Dallas https://dox.utdallas.edu/publication1322 with no other scholarships his COA will be less than $1K a year;-)
Florida list :http://www.fldoe.org/newsroom/national-merit.stml
This is the most recent list of National Merit sponsors. It doesn’t detail how much the colleges offer students though; some colleges provide just $2000 or so against a full cost of $50k+/year, while others are full ride or close. Also some college awards are competitive or are first-come-first-served.
Here’s Wyoming’s NMSF list:
@traveler98 That list is just of the schools offering NM scholarships through NMSC. Those scholarships are all (as far as I know) in the $1k-$4k ballpark. Schools are free to offer scholarships to NMFs directly, which is where all the big ones are.
@flatKansas that list includes well known big $$$ NM schools like OU, UTD, UCF, UA …
Yes, the NM awards are very small, but quite a few schools lavish huge amounts of merit aid on students who are NM Finalists. Some are more than a full ride. Schools like to put “we enrolled this-many NMFs” in their statistics, which makes a great deal for a few students, especially those who plan to go on to med or law school after graduation.
The Yola list is out of date, though.
