You applied thinking you were going to be full pay?

Yes. They have a few full tuition merit scholarships and some half tuition at Lehigh. They were awarded one of the half tuition scholarships.

Also - remember though that UVA engineering is more than Arts and Sciences there. So it got Lehigh to the 50K range.

T25 full ride plus $ for summers, all merit. Top kid, top scores, top LOR, had it all, no hooks. Complete surprise.

What school?

What financial issues?

I’m guessing Vanderbilt or Emory because very few private T-25’s give merit scholarships to full-pay students.

My son got merit from two places that brought the price down to in-state public levels.

Clarkson gave 43K a year or so in merit, and
UConn gave 23K a year in merit, which made both schools equivalent to paying in-state public tuition.

Furman gave $34000 merit a year (Bell Tower scholarship)

We visited Hobart, which I liked a lot. Nice location.

Impressive. Didn't realize NYU gave merit. Tough to get down to level of in state. COA still must be over $60k

Might be theater.

They give merit for performing arts

This isn’t really relevant to the broader DCUM population. To get this, you have to be a NC student who graduates from NCSSM. I went there - great school, but this is not the same as a regular student applying and getting merit aid.

We don’t pay a dime for my kid at UMd. Actually, he tends to make $$ as he never spends full book allowance. Best deal out there.

In-state?

Yes in state. Though plenty of full B/K OOS (one from Australia this year)
