[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any colleges that give generous merit aid and offer CS as a major. I cannot find any. We will not qualify for need based aid. We liked Amherst and Pamona but then were told they do not give merit, just like the Ivies.[/quote] Sounds like you are only looking at top tier colleges. Amherst and Pomona are top LACs and reaches for everyone. You need to look more at target and safety colleges. You will find some merit opportunities there. Look past T20 schools. OOS flagships/public can be affordable w/o financial aid, but some are not and some offer little, so look at those carefully. UMD offers aid to in and OOS accepted students, but is usually more generous w/ OOS, since their tuition fees are much higher. But, my kid (in state) was offered 1/2 tuition presidential and then offer another 6K from her dept (not CS), so essentially full tuition. There is more than Banneker Key there.[/quote]
