<p>The large scholarships from USC and Northeastern are not official NMSC scholarships. They have their own deadlines. NE deadline is April 11th, and USC’s may be even earlier.</p>
<p>You can only win one official NMSC scholarship, but the official college-sponsored scholarships are smaller awards of $500-$2000 per year. You can’t turn down the $2500 NMSC scholarship if you win it, but some colleges will make up the difference between that and their college-sponsored award.</p>
