[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merit aid is about yield management, not academic talent. That's why the most selective schools offer generous financial aid, but not merit aid. Nearly a fifth of students receiving so-called merit scholarships have less than a B average and mediocre SAT scores, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. As a result, the net price paid by low-income students is often as high as, or higher than, that paid by more affluent students at the same institution. [b]If you earn/have enough to come up with an EFC of $90K on FAFSA, you can afford to let your child go anywhere. You certainly don't need other people to subsidize your child's education through financial aid or even merit aid. [/b][/quote] +1[/quote]
