[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it makes the school less desirable. I think the Catholic schools are desirable *because* they give merit scholarships. If they are endowed scholarships then why are they not "public"? There are privacy reasons to keep FA awards secret, but I'm failing to see why a school would not publicly disclose that there are merit scholarships available. For one thing it would increase the applicant pool I would think. My DC is at one of the "bigs" but not in upper school yet. I have not heard from our school or from friends with older kids at the school that the school is awarding endowed merit scholarships. We do know kids who got *outside* merit based scholarships that apply towards their tuition, but directly from the school, nope, never heard of it. Sorry. Again, I'm failing to see why you can't name the schools that offered scholarships. If these are endowed and (presumably) offered routinely then it doesn't out the person to mention schools that offered ones she declined. [/quote]
