Depends on school. Some don’t offer merit.

Also, the amount is not important when comparing schools. What’s important is the cost of attendance after merit.

Pitt, , Drexel, UDel and Case Western. Didn't attend any because tuition still too out of reach.

Just wanted to add DC was offered $9,500/year which makes it cheaper than any in state school since the OOS tuition is also very reasonable. This was just based on GPA, didn’t submit test scores. I suspect students with excellent test scores and even higher GPAs would be offered even more in merit aid.

Meanwhile I'd love if my kd could go to UMD for engineering but it's OOS for us and we likely can't afford it and heard they don't give good/much merit aid. Wish we were instate. Jealous.

Op here,
I’m not sure if my kid can even get accepted umd’s main campus in the first place

I’d expect a no-that-selective school that wants your kid to at least match the in-state cost of your state flagship. If they don’t do that, they don’t actually love your kid.

Tulane $30k per year. Miami of Ohio $24k per year.
