[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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

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

Like where? What's your definition of second and third tier schools?? [/quote]

DP (I'm the one who posted the Kiplinger's guide). If you do a sort by % of students with no demonstrated need receiving merit aid, you will see that Denison, Ohio Wesleyan, Rhodes, University of Dallas, DePauw, St. John's College, Centre College and others all give scholarships to almost everyone admitted. I think that all of those schools are in the top 100, and generally of good value, especially if you plan on grad school of some sort. In general, these schools have pretty big endowments but are in rural areas that are out of favor. You can still get an excellent education at these schools, IF your student is interested.  [/quote]

Almost all private schools give out "merit" scholarship - usually 15k/year or so. The problem is, while helpful, it's usually not enough to make the school affordable. Families still have to make up 45k + per year. Not many families can do that. [/quote]
