Yes, the majority of these posted are the major merit awards the schools offer. However, such as mentioned with the Charles, some target specific populations or a small pool of people. Look into those as well. At Wake Forest, for instance, there is a full schlolarhip available for students from a particular county in NC. At Duke, there is a scholarship for the highest scoring student in the NC Math Contest. At anderbilt, there is a scholarship for students from one particular region of Georgia. At GW, there is one for students in the DC public school system. Look for these- smaller applicant pools, specific qualifiers may bring you success.
