Rhodes has good merit aid
Sewanee has good merit aid
Duke/UNC Robertson scholarships are fabulous

Look at the state schools with great honors programs; many of them have fabulous aid packages as well. UGA and Indiana come to mind. University of Oklahoma and Arizona State ( especially math, science )...

The hunt for aid requires expanding the list of possibilities beyond the reach, match, safety list. Students who are hunting for aid need to look at the match of the best possible program with the best money package. In reality the reach, match, and safety schools may accept the student and offer no aid. For many students, that puts them into a new category: impossible. Money needs to be a factor early in the hunt.
