Colleges with the most national merit scholars?

Hello everyone, I got selected as a National Merit Semifinalist (yayy!). I now want to apply to colleges which have a large number of NMFs. Does anyone know which these colleges are?

Congrats on being a National Merit Semifinalist – that's a fantastic achievement!

Colleges with large numbers of National Merit Scholars often have competitive scholarship funds for these students. Here are few known for attracting National Merit Scholars:

1. University of Southern California (USC): USC is known to consistently attract a large number of National Merit Scholars each year, offering them a half-tuition scholarship.

2. University of Oklahoma (OU): OU also attracts a significant number of National Merit Scholars. If you're in-state, OU offers a full ride; for out-of-state, it covers a significant portion of the cost.

3. University of Florida (UF): UF offers the Benacquisto Scholarship, which includes full tuition, room, board, and a stipend, to NMFs.

4. University of Texas at Dallas: The McDermott Scholars Program targets National Merit Finalists, offering a full ride plus a living allowance, study abroad stipends, and more.

5. University of Alabama: The University of Alabama offers generous scholarships to National Merit Scholars, including full tuition for both in-state and out-of-state students, plus an additional stipend per year.

Remember, these are just a few examples. It's crucial to research further on these universities' websites for specific details and also consider other factors such as academic programs, campus culture, location, etc. when making your final college selection. Good luck with your applications!
