Two clarifications:

Neither UT-Dallas nor Alabama give full COA for National Merit Finalists. By my calculations, both scholarships are between $6-$8k short of the school’s published COA.

UCF doesn’t have the 200+/year NMFs that Alabama and UT-Dallas does. Recent years, it’s been more like 85. There’s no in-state/OOS breakdown of the NMFs from UCF, but I would assume 40 from other states is probably close to the status quo.

I was expecting the worst from this UCF news, and at least to me, this seems close to a best-possible scenario after the death of OOS Benacquisto.
