| Merit Aid Data for (mostly) LACs
Here's our ongoing list of schools that we've discussed at one point or another for our kid who will be applying to college for Fall 2010.
I took data from USWN&WR Big Book that lists the percentage of students that received merit aid and the average merit aid award.
We're doing this to try and find some financial safety schools, since the schools kid is most interested in (Brown, Vassar) provide no merit aid, and with ~$160k income we aren't banking on any significant need-based aid.
First # is percentage of students that received merit aid; secodn number of average award in thousands.
