Do the merit scholarships stack with NMF award? If not, is it worth the visit?

I was recently named a Presidential scholarship finalist at USC (half-tuition), and invited to interview next month. However, I am also a National Merit Semifinalist, and will be named a Finalist soon. If I am awarded Finalist, I will receive the NMF Presidential scholarship anyways (also, half tuition). It is my understanding that the scholarships don't stack. So, if I don't go to USC to interview, I'll still receive the same amount of merit money as I would if I go to interview, am awarded the scholarship, and am named a NMF. Is all of this correct? LA is a 6 hour $350+ flight from where I live. It seems kind of pointless to visit for 2 days and interview if I'll get the same amount of money even if I don't go. What do you think about my thought process on this??! There's no way I won't get the 1/2 tuition, and no way I could be awarded any more than that!
