[quote=Anonymous]Here are a few policies.  I am guessing that PPs niece does not go to one of these schools.  I suspect that the 2nd tier schools are much more willing to provide merit scholarships to attract kids they otherwise couldn't attract.

GDS:
Georgetown Day School has always opened its doors to students who can benefit from its educational program regardless of economic need. Financial aid is a major commitment of the School and is available to students enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade. Although it is not possible to meet all requests for such assistance, the School makes an effort to help as many families as possible. Grants are made solely on the basis of financial need.

Sidwell:
 
Need-Based Financial Aid Program

In keeping with Quaker tenets, Sidwell Friends School seeks a student body that represents varied economic backgrounds. In 2012-2013, 23 percent of our students will receive approximately $6,100,000 of financial aid support with an average aid award of $21,938, which covers nearly two-thirds of the average tuition cost. Once a student has been admitted to Sidwell Friends School, aid is determined and renewed annually on the basis of demonstrated financial need without regard to gender, race, religion, or national and ethnic origin.

The financial aid program at Sidwell Friends School is guided by our belief that parents have an obligation to pay the educational expenses of their children to the extent that they are able. The purpose of the financial aid program is to fill the gap between the actual cost of a year’s tuition and what a family can realistically be expected to pay toward this cost.
