[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As of this past application cycle, Elon's merit awards top out at around $23,500 for the best kids (about 60 total per entering class), and most kids will get no more than $17,500 I think. Other nearby schools that get similar applicants, like Furman, Wofford, Sewanee, etc. were offering similar kids merit amounts around $35,000 or so. While those schools do cost a little bit more, their cost of attendance for the brighter kids with no financial need is going to be lower than Elon's most of the time. Perhaps Elon needs to up their merit for the best applicants (to the extent they financially are able to do so)? Though it was interesting to read that a previous poster noted that Furman's enrollment is down, too.[/quote] Elon has a lower starting cost by design. Mine got scholarships at both and they were literally within $500 of each other. [/quote]
