[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The basic answer is no. None of the top independent schools (GDS, Maret, STA, NCS,Sidwell etc) give merit aid. They save their money for need based financial aid. They have enough highly qualified applicants that they don't need to recruit with merit aid. It's the same case for highly selective colleges. Most merit aid is used at less selective schools trying to recruit top talent. The Ivys get that talent anyway, just like the top private schools.[/quote]

None of this is true. They do give merit base scholarships. [/quote]

Really?  Which DC privates give merit scholarships?  Which Ivy's give Merit scholarships?  Links and proof.[/quote]

Can you provide links and proof that the don't provide scholarships. I know kids that have gotten scholarships. What do you want, their names. [/quote]

Ivy's cannot give out athletic or merit scholarships.  Look it up.  It is  need based only.  People who say they received a scholarship to an Ivy are bragging about Financial Aid.[/quote]

Or maybe you should research private endowment scholarships.[/quote]
