As I remember, when he received the notification from NHRP they gave him a form but also said he could fill in his preferences online. I think that is the biggest benefit of the program because it allowed him to show definite interest in a school which, of course, they like because they know that the kid is not just playing them as a safety. So my S did put down his safety and a very competitive school but his safety was a close second to the competitive one. He did get a tuition scholarship from the safety but I don’t know if it was related to the NH scholar designation and his choosing them as one of his top schools, or whether it was from his art portfolio or, (i think), because he wrote a really funny essay…I thought after reading that he should give up on art and go into creative writing… It would be really nice to know why a kid gets a certain scholarship…you always wonder
