CWRU gives a few full scholarships but for some you have to specifically apply and they are quite competitive. Details are all on the website. The school also gives generous merit aid that you do not have to apply for, but the full tuition scholarships are different.

But some of these do have a very small number of highly selective scholarships (different from a standard merit "discount" based on just being a strong student in the pool).

Schools in the T20:
Duke has full tuition/R&B scholarships
JHU has a 2/3 tuition scholarship and a full tuition engineering scholarship
U of Chicago has some merit-based scholarships but don't appear to approach full or half tuition
Rice has some merit-based scholarships but don't appear to approach full or half tuition
Vanderbilt has full tuition merit scholarships
Notre Dame has a $25k merit scholarship (about 40% of tuition)



Yes. "Limited exceptions."

The school also gives out the Weinstein full tuition scholarship for those of Jewish descent(the school has a nice Hillel on campus).

Oh nice, I wasn’t aware of this, thanks

Emphasis is service, leadership, and scholarship.


Thank you!
