[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was a NMS receiving the $2500 direct from NM, but she never had any test prep or tutoring. Definitely smart and a hard worker, but also a strong test taker and lucky. She didn’t receive any full rides but it could have been that she wasn’t applying to big state schools. By the time she won, she had already submitted apps and decided where she was going. The application to go from semi finalist to finalist was brief, just use the common app essay and get a counselor recommendation. The list of previous winners is incredible and I think they do some tracking and studies on the winners. It is also a big honor to receive college and corporate awards, which are often higher in dollar value, but NMSC has first choice and winners can only accept one award. Colleges can elect to give more money but are not required to sponsor an NMS if they receive money direct from NMSC. [/quote]
