<p>are scholarships handed out on a rolling basis?</p>
<p>I don’t believe they are. The scholarship deadline is Dec. 1st. After that date, all the applications are considered. I believe we found out in March that my S received the Presidential Endowed Scholarship (in addition to NM scholarship).</p>
<p>Mine were handed out on a rolling basis. Every now and then I would get a letter saying I was getting some new one.Sometimes, they inexplicably replaced one scholarship they had awarded me in Dec. with a higher one in March. And they never said why! My scholarship awards page kept adding and subtracting awards(always to my benefit) right up to the time I was name NMF. At that time several others were negated based upon the higher NMF ones.</p>
<p>Wow, I am totally confused now…both of u were NM and yet, received scholarships @ diff times!
btw, if u weren’t a NM, do u still have a good chance of getting big scholarships??</p>
<p>The NMFs definitely get the money, but if you aren’t, you need really good test scores…it is all about the stats…a lot of the money I got besides the NMF was for test scores. Also, the depts. give out money later than the University scholarships.</p>

<p>NMF, Top 3%. 1520 SAT, 35 ACT. Heavy into band and church activities/leadership.</p>
