It may matter where you send them.

When my son was a high school senior and National Merit Finalist he was instructed by the University of Florida recruiter to list UF as his top choice if he wanted to be qualified to receive their NM scholarship. I don’t know what their current guidelines are.

There are a few colleges that offer NM based merit scholarships, so if your student has an interest in any of those institutions, it may warrant checking their guidelines.

If your student is not trying to cash in on a merit scholarship based on being a National Merit Finalist, as the other poster stated, it probably doesn’t make much difference.
