[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]merit based scholarships do require FAFSA however they are hard to come by, you almost have to go down two notches school ranking wise to score some.[/quote] And that's exactly where a lot of middle class kids are going to end up going to school.[/quote] My 1500/3.98UW/10AP kid got $42K/year at a T50 school. That's not "two notches down". My 1250/3.5UW/No AP kid got $16K/year at a T100 school, and we never paid more than $40K total per year. For them it was not "go down two notches" school---they were not a candidate for a T50 school to begin with. At most you go down one level, from T25 to anything else. Merit is out there, and my kids found it and neither was searching. [/quote]
