[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the NPC calculators take into account merit aid, or just financial aid based on parent income/assets?[/quote] Most NPCs only take into consideration family's assets and income and project a financial aid package based on that. That is the minimum required by the Department of Education. Some colleges that make merit awards based on stats will factor that into their NPC (examples I recall from a year ago were St Mary's of Maryland, Knox College in Illinois, Case Western). Some state flagshps, like KU, post a grid where you can see the discount you would get for high scores/GPA. You should do both -- run the NPC and search for whether the college gives merit aid. Those aren't always described on the same page.[/quote]
