What about your “regular stats” of SAT/ACT and GPA? Did those not merit a good sized award on their own?
I don’t know what your major/career goal is, but quickly send a application to UAH. If your stats are strong (and since you were a NMF, I’m guessing they were, you will get a good sized merit award.
The NMF thing would have come out soon because after May 1st, the schools find out who chose them as “first choice”…and your name would NOT have been listed.
You can send them an appeal for a different scholarship award, but you won’t get that NMF award since it is processed thru NMCorp and is only for 2016 winners.
Are you instate for UMinn?
