NM is what it is, and what it is NOT is a full COA scholarship. The National Merit scholarship awarded by NMSC is a relatively modest $2500. The big money scholarships are awarded by the schools, not NMSC. Individual schools are already free to spend their scholarship dollars however they see fit.

To the extent they are shying away from the NM credential, it’s not only due to a deemphasis on standardized tests, but more because they are choosing not to give big scholarships to high achievers without demonstrated financial need. NM reinventing itself won’t change that.
