SCHOLARSHIPS

 

​

 

National Merit in FLORIDA

While there are many institutions in Florida that meet the eligibility criteria, only seven institutions participate with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation as a CollegeSponsor for the 2018-19 academic year:

• Florida Atlantic University,

• Florida State University,

• New College of Florida,

• University of Central Florida,

• University of Florida,

• University of Miami, and

• University of South Florida.

 

To be considered for college sponsorship, the student would need to choose one of the above institutions as a first choice when responding to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Once the National Merit Scholarship Corporation has mailed out an offer, the student will not be able to change the institution designation.
