Is it easier to get merit aid at one of these smaller Catholic schools?

Yes. The discount rate at mid-tier small liberal arts colleges is through the roof. [/quote]

The link above is quite old. Coincidentally, my junior DS’s background is a bit similar to op. He is at a Catholic HS in the DMV. From what I’ve read and heard, there is not much aid at Catholic universities unless you qualify for a Pell Grant. However, it is easier to get in if you are from a Catholic HS. Any others with recent experience? [/quote]

DD applied to Fordham, Villanova, BC and ND.  Got into all.  Fordham is only school that has offered merit aid.  Villanova has not yet offered merit aid to its EA pool, but I expect she will likely get some sort of merit there as well.  Either way, she will attend ND.  From a Catholic HS.[/quote]

Congrats!  I believe Fordham gives out a lot more merit aid than Villanova, but sounds like your DD headed to ND anyway, great position to be in.[/quote]
