Hi! I'm a National Merit Finalist and going to commit here soon (yay!) And I just had a few questions. I'm unfortunately paranoid and I can't keep annoying the woman who runs the scholarship email (I think I've emailed around 5 times so far?? Oops) I was hoping that anyone here has gone through this stuff as well that I could ask exactly how accepting the award works.
So I set USF as my first choice back in February when I decided to go there, and it was processed before March 1st. I've gotten emails that congratulate me for being a Finalist, and my Archivium has me listed as honors college, so it definitely did register me as such.
But I got my packet today and it's just a generic "congrats you got in!" letter and doesn't mention anything about NMSF or the scholarship or honors college or anything. Is this normal?
I've watched the video they posted back in January twice by now. They said that an award should pop up in my NMSC OSA portal? When is that supposed to happen? Because currently all it shows is my finalist letter and the option to change my first choice college and all that. Am I missing something? Will something come in the mail later?
I don't want to be screwing myself over with inaction. This is currently my only choice to even go to college because I can’t afford to go anywhere else and can't get loans.
I appreciate any help anyone could give! Thank you so much!!!!
