[quote=Anonymous]Is there a good list of SLACs that are generous with merit aid?

DD is only a sophomore but we are starting to think about some visits, and as well, want to start the conversation around costs before she starts to get hopes up or heart set on a school with a price tag we're not willing to pay for.  Although in theory we can afford $70K/year, we're not willing to pay this because (1) there are grandparents who will need financial supports in coming years, (2) we are not willing to go into debt ourselves, (3) we think a good (even excellent) undergrad education can be had for significantly less, and (4) we anticipate DD going to grad school and that will need to be paid for too.

Based on various threads out there, we've heard about the following SLACs providing significant merit aid (enough to bring the price tag closer to cost of attending UMD in-state):

Dickinson
Oberlin
Kenyon
Dennison
Juniata
Wooster
Union
St. Lawrence
Sewanee
Rhodes

Other schools that do seem to offer merit aid - but not clear how generous this is or how often it is granted:
Bucknell
Grinnell
Davidson
Mount Holyoke
Bryn Mawr

OK, DCUM, have at it!  What are missing and what do we have wrong?
