[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew received a full ride to Brown in 2015, graduating in 2019.  [/quote]

This was financial aid, not a merit scholarship.

No it was merit. He had a 4.0 unweighted and a super high SAT. I don’t know what the scholarship was called, but it was based on merit.[/quote]

DP here.

Brown (and other ivies) do not give merit scholarships.

Nearly every student at those schools has stats like those attributed to your nephew.[/quote]

Right. Brown could have a scholarship designated for students who excel in some specific way or want to study a particular topic. But the first threshold is need; students who don’t have financial need would not be considered.

It’s also possible that there’s some foundation or private organization that awards full scholarships to Brown based on factors other than need, like the Jefferson Scholars Foundation for UVA. But your nephew did not get a non-need-based scholarship from Brown University.[/quote]
