<p>Schools will coordinate how they do it with NMF so there is no double dipping. If the school gives you something which is better than NMF (say they give $2000 a year for 4 years) and NMF gives you a one time $2500), you will be allowed one of them, not both. The school will work with you on that and you can get only on NMF designated scholarship. Schools can add on to that but they are not “strictly NMF scholarships”. For example if the school offers tution waiver in to NMF scholars plus + 2000 a year, the $2000 a year is NMF scholarship but the tuition waiver is an add on. So in theory you could get the $2500 one time from NMF + tuition waiver from the school or $2000 a year for 4 years from the school + tuition wavier from the school. Hope this helps.</p>
