Harvey Mudd National Merit Scholarships range from $1,000 to $2,000 per year depending on financial need. Qualifying National Merit finalists who do not apply for or do not receive need-based financial assistance will be packaged the minimum of $1,000 per year. Beginning with Fall 2020, the renewable Harvey Mudd National Merit Scholarships are $1,500 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must be enrolled at least full time (12 credits) to remain eligible to receive this package. Need-based Harvey Mudd scholarship recipients will have their need-based package reduced by the amount of the Harvey Mudd National Merit Scholarship. For example, if a student receives a Harvey Mudd National Merit Scholarship of $2,000, his or her Harvey Mudd need-based scholarship will be reduced by $2,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information is available from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalmerit.org\/\">National Merit Scholarship Corporation<\/a> at <a href=\"tel:+18478665100\" class=\"phone\">847.866.5100<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&lt; <strong>Return to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/afford\/scholarships-and-grants\/merit-based-scholarships\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/afford\/scholarships-and-grants\/merit-based-scholarships\/\">Merit Based Scholarships<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvey Mudd College National Merit Scholarships are packaged to National Merit finalists who name Harvey Mudd as their first-choice school [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":763,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1152","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1152"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28248,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1152\/revisions\/28248"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
