+1. FCPS, $10k


I admit to having no hard data, but I suspect that merit aid is much more likely OOS. We are in-state with 2 terps and the only kids we’ve heard of getting aid were Banneker Key recipients but these are the same students who are true contenders for Ivies.

PP. Even with the $10, COA is ~$46k. Think we're still paying double (as we should) the cost of MD residents.

^ This. Are you expecting any? They are not very generous with merit aid.

Fair assumption. If memory serves, I don't think they send any sort of notification. Just think student needs to start refreshing application portal in late afternoon. Good luck!
