[b]It's a UMD thing, equivalent to UVA's Jefferson Scholars[/b].[/quote]

Sorry, dear, it's not equivalent to the Jefferson.  There are far more B-K awards than the Jefferson, they're not all full tution, and it's not nearly as prestigious.  [/quote]

What a dumbs$$ thing to say. UVa folks never disappoint...[/quote]

Except that it's true.  The Jefferson is far more selective.  [/quote]

"more selective" just means UVa is not as generous with merit scholarships. i am not sure why that's a good thing. [/quote]

+1,000,000 [/quote]

If the choice is between more merit aid and [b]offering better financial aid,[/b] I'm not sure merit is a good thing.  Merit aid largely feeds schools bidding against each other for students who in many cases can already afford college.   Jefferson at UVA is run by an affiliated foundation, not by the university.[/quote]

[b]UVa is not known for generous FA either. As you said even Jeff is not by the Uni.[/b] [/quote]

[b]Wrong, hater[/b]:

https://news.virginia.edu/content/virginians-uva-offers-unmatched-affordability-and-value[/quote]

The article claims that UVA is very affordable for Virginians.  Perhaps the previous poster meant that UVA is not known for being generous with FA to out-of-staters, which I agree with after running the Net Price Calculator and comparing to many others.  Hence my Maryland senior is not applying.
