Financial Aid
Does any one know when the aid packages are due out and is Bard generous?

Will they give more aid if you got a merit scholarship? I was lucky enough to get the equal cost scholar thing but are they likely to give more?

ive found with all my aid packages so far that they balance out
for example, if i got a 9,000/year scholarship at beloit college in wisconsin and i got 21000 need based aid, for 30000 total, that would likely be approx what i get at most of my other school even without merit based aid...
to explain it slightly better, no...merit aid is just another part of your total package, which goes towards meeting your demonstrated need (efc)
