| Your first post said they offer no "need" money. Need based financial aid at any college is not just scholarships. Need based FA packages usually are made up of a combo of grant, loans, and work study. However, now your second post is ONLY referring to scholarships. While work study and loans are not scholarships, they are part of what is called "need based aid."
I can't tell you what the scholarships are based on at BOCO as the FA package doesn't really say. But my original statement that BOCO offers need based aid still stands. If you have no "need", you would not be offered the loans, for instance.
My D was a FA applicant to BOCO, and her financial aid package had a scholarship for theater, a Stafford Loan and work study. It doesn't stipulate if the scholarship was for talent or need but the entire package of FA includes need because loans and work study are parts of a need based FA package. Someone just getting merit aid doesn't have loans or work study as part of a FA package. So, I can't tell you what criteria the scholarship is offered under. I can tell you that BOCO has some need based aid, which is what your original post brought up, not scholarships, per se. |
