Looks like an amazing program, but it is not an academic scholarship. Ivies only offer need-based financial aid...no merit-based scholarships.

WRONG. The Vagelos Challenge Award pays for 3rd and 4th year tuition and fees independent of need for 5 of the 10-20 students in the sub-concentration/matriculation in chem and physics. The best students in the program get it. But, they don't make the award until after sophomore year. No application. the profs just pick you.
