Dean’s scholarship was replaced with with a somewhat larger NMF scholarship of less than $30K and yes he designated NEU as first choice, otherwise he wouldn’t have been eligible to receive. We did call for clarification and it was explained that the NMF scholarship is an amount “up to” $30K, as it does say on the website. It also was explained that like the Dean’s amount, exact NMF amounts awarded depend on consideration of merit factors such as test scores and grades. I don’t know the history of the NMF scholarship at NEU, but I got the sense that it used to be full tuition and automatic Honors, then guaranteed $30K, and now just an unspecified amount up to $30K. Still a pretty good thing for NM finalists and far better than any other schools we looked at.
