<p>@DeskPotato, why do you suppose current students would be upset about cutting back on Honors participation? If anything, it just gives the program more cachet. And no one’s existing merit award is being cut, so I don’t see why that would be a concern either.</p>
<p>This type of revamping of aid suggests that the now infamous “I don’t want to pay for college” mom of another thread really needs to re-think her position. Big merit awards may be going the way of the dodo.</p>
