[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine did 2 years ago. Top SLAC. It was a bit stomach churning at the time. Very surprised. Full ride. [/quote]

How can you get a full ride to a top SLAC?[/quote]

If you have extreme financial need.[/quote]

Nope. Stop posting when you don’t know what you’re talking about. [/quote]

Uhhh... why is this not true at say, Amherst?[/quote]

W&L gives full ride merit scholarships according to this thread.  Most top SLACS give none or just a bit for NMSFs. [/quote]

This is straight from their website: This academic year, Amherst is providing more than $50 million in scholarship aid to [b]55 percen[/b]t of the student body. The average financial aid award was $53,577 in 2017-18.[/quote]

But the stats these schools put out are somewhat skewed by the fact that they include in the percentages those families like ours which didn't qualify for anything from FAFSA but the min. $5500 loan.  Schools claim that is financial aid given to them by the institution.  It's not.  It's the lowest loan you can get from the U.S. Dept of Ed to those of us whose EFCs are at 100%.[/quote]
