[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: I believe all the schools have some kind of merit scholarships but their definition of "merit" may be different than yours. I think school offers scholarships to the students they want, and sometime that can be because of a particular sport, or ethnicity! Grades or academic standing is probably the least likely reason to give out scholarships because, well frankly, most of the students applying were all pretty good on that front. My DC was offered one at a school we ultimately declined because another school just felt better fit. [/quote] Exactly this,you have to be very bright to be admitted so it isn't a distinguishing characteristic justifying merit aid. I'm in Baltimore and the limited "merit" aid I've seen given out is for athletics.[/quote] They call that 'scholarships for athletes who are good students'. I don't think top academic schools do that, but one step down and yes they do[/quote]
