Mom2collegekids, do you mind a question from a total newbie? Oldest child is a JR with a 222 SI on the PSAT. I’m trying to help him research his best options in case he’s NMF.
I see that Auburn gives the $20k per year for National Merit for OOS. (We live in Kansas).
The web page says:
“Non-resident National Merit and Achievement semifinalists who have a minimum 3.5 high school GPA and meet the January 15 application for admission deadline receive an Academic Heritage Scholarship, replacing a Freshman Scholarship of lesser value if previously offered.”
“Heritage Scholarship
› Requires a 31-32 ACT (1360-1430 SAT) score and a minimum 3.5 high school GPA.
› Awarded at $48,000 over four years ($12,000 per year).”
The NM 20k appears to be automatic. From the phrasing in the first paragraph quoted above, it sounds like the Heritage is also automatic for OOS MNF. Do I have this right?
So would it be a guaranteed $32k per year if he is a NMF?
Thanks so much.
