[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you won’t qualify for financial aid, are you are looking for info on the likelihood of her getting an athletic scholarship to Colgate? [/quote]

Yes, as to athletic. But also any information on "scholarships and grants" as some of the boards amorphously note. That's not "merit" but what we're finding is that merit is sometimes couched as other things. For example, if kids are admitted to honors colleges at some schools, or certain programs, they receive scholarships. Those are not included as "merit aid."

I'm also just wondering what the campus, school, experience is like. We hope to visit but it would be in the summer so I don't think we'd get the full feel. [/quote]

You are overthinking (wishfully). [b]Scholarships and grants = financial aid[/b]

If you don’t qualify and there is no merit, you won’t get any aid unless she gets an athletic scholarship [/quote]

Do you know this to be the case for Colgate or are you just guessing? Because this is not how it is everywhere. [/quote]

I have a HS senior. We don’t  qualify for financial aid. He got merit at schools that offer it, and at one school that had said they didn’t offer it (but changed their policy this year). But there are lots of schools (often the most competitive ones) that offer need based aid (“scholarships”) only.[/quote]

Would you mind sharing the name of the school that now offers merit? [/quote]

Not who you're responding too but maybe this PP is referring to Franklin and Marshall? They started offering merit again (albeit, not a ton--- though this is all anecdotal).[/quote]
