Most, if not all, merit scholarships are stats driven unless your kid is a recruited. Realistically, with 3.6 weighted GPA, it is very unlikely.

Actually, for a boy especially, a weighted 3.6 GPA will get merit aid at second and third tier schools.

OP, look at Colleges That Change Lives schools.[/quote]

+1.  My DC got large merit scholarships from Colleges that Change Lives Schools with a 3.45 wGPA and a 30 ACT, and ended up attending an OOS public school with a more modest scholarship (total cost about $33K).

If your kid wants a bigger school, a 3.6 and decent test scores will probably get him merit aid at most public flagships in New England.  Ohio State has a $13,500 scholarship for kids who are in the top 25% of the class and have a 29 ACT or 1330 SAT.  University of Delaware has $8000 for OOS students with a 3.5 and a 1370 SAT.  Schools with marching bands might have a small music scholarship on top of merit if your kid wants to do that.  There are plenty of merit scholarships out there for merely "good" students if you don't turn your nose up at schools that aren't at the top of the rankings.
