There “may” be some money for NMF. We were told that it is possible. It is interesting, D has a 35 ACT, NMF and 4.0 top of class but may not get much at BYU. I guess rates are so low they don’t really have to give scholarships. Plus they don’t have the huge endowments like Ivies and other flagships do.

From the BYU website:

“Also, BYU-sponsored National Merit Scholarship recipients will be selected from among the Heritage Scholarship applicants. To be considered, candidates must be selected by National Merit Corporation as a finalist, list BYU as their first-choice university, and complete the Heritage Scholarship Application.”

Heritage Scholarship

"The Heritage Scholarships are the most prestigious awards offered by Brigham Young University to incoming freshman students. These eight-semester, full LDS tuition scholarships are named after LDS men and women who have made significant contributions to the Church and the world. Recipients will be chosen based on their high achievement in spiritual, academic, and extracurricular endeavors. From among the applicants, a number of students with unusual gifts and accomplishments will receive the Heritage Scholarship named after the President of the Church.

To apply, students must have a minimum composite ACT score of 31 and a minimum unweighted high school grade point average of 3.85 (A=4.0). If the ACT score is 32 or higher, a student may still be considered if the unweighted high school grade point average is at least 3.50. Potential candidates must complete the Admissions and Scholarship Application and the Heritage Scholarship Application by January 15. To receive these applications, contact the Scholarship Office."
