[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 20 has a certain meaning when you are talking about colleges, right or wrong--Top 20 National (USNWR).  Not a biggie, just confusing to use the term when you are talking about generous merit aid which doesn't exist at that level.[/quote]

USNWR has two national rankings, one for universities and one for LACs. "Top 20" could refer to either of these.

Of the USNWR top 20 national universities, only Chicago, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Rice, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Wash U, and Emory offer merit aid. Cal-Berkeley offers merit aid, but virtually all of it only to California residents.

MIT does *not* offer merit aid. https://sfs.mit.edu/undergraduate-financial-aid/types-of-aid/mit-scholarships

Of the USNWR top 20 LACs, only Wellesley, Claremont McKenna, Davidson, Washington and Lee, Smith, and Grinnell offer merit aid.

(Note: Some of the top 20 universities/LACs may offer "national merit scholarships" to students who are national merit scholars based on their standardized test scores. These one-time (first year) scholarships are typically $1000-$2000.)
