<p>^ Good catch. Oberlin for example does have its own ncp form. So does Whitman.</p>
<p>Swarthmore does give some merit scholarships.</p>
<p>I have only seen Swarthmore have a few scholarships for students of nearby areas.</p>
<p>Colby gave us more aid on the net price calculator after they asked for grades and test scores, so it is like merit aid even if they claim not to give any.</p>
<p>Hendrix has some big scholarships. Not sure how many.</p>
<p>I have no idea how they treat NCP but the OP asked for merit OR custodial parent only.</p>
<p>Washington and Lee Johnson Scholarship program
Davidson Belk Scholars program</p>
<p>They are both extremely competitive merit scholarships but the schools are of similar caliber to Swarthmore and Davidson has an honor code that’s taken very seriously. I think both award full tuition and room and board for 4 years.</p>
<p>Trinity U in San Antonio was very impressive when I visited in August 2011. Diverse in terms of students home towns. New science center. Very Nice dorms. Lacks the arboretum.</p>
<p>Centre College in KY has full scholarships (limited)</p>
<p>I also 2nd Rhodes</p>
<p>Is he NMSF? If yes, consider Juniata which has a competitive full ride scholarship for NMF.</p>
<p>Kenyon has merit scholarships, up to full tuition.</p>
<p>Knox College is FAFSA-only, has merit aid, good school. Don’t know if they require ncp info.</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone mentioned University of Richmond yet. I know a divorced woman in my town whose daughter is there and she said she got a full scholarship. Not sure if that’s completely accurate, but might be worth checking out.</p>
<p>I just learned that as of this year Albright promises to meet full need as determined by FAFSA (so no NCP). Worth a look.</p>
<p>Ugh. This thread breaks my heart. University of San Francisco seems perfect but there’s no way I can afford it…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Earlham does not require NCP and there is big merit possible</p>
<p>Thanks saint fan. Looks like a place that might suit my son.</p>
<p>Earlham & Denison are both FAFSA only and both good LACs. Both also give Merit - Earlham doesn’t consider standardized tests for merit, while Denison considers scores and gives aid for nmsf.
I love Earlham - it really is a great place that graduates extraordinary people.</p>
<p>Also College of Wooster. They have a single page FA supplement that asks for the NCP’s address but that’s it…S’ NCP was not contacted.</p>
<p>Great FA and merit, not too sportsy or Greek or party.</p>
<p>Well I’ll mention St. Olaf for beautiful and Merit Aid and loves students with high SAT scores.</p>

<p>Just pointing out that Gettysburg’s male non-freshmen population if half Greek.</p>
<p>That would seem to hardly comply with O/P’s desire for a “non-Greek” school.</p>
<p>Eckerd College, non-Greek, FAFSA only, trustee merit award is $17,000 plus financial aid grants.</p>
<p>The midwest is a good place to hunt. Many fine, fine LACs with long histories of educating kids and getting them into grad school or wherever they want to go. The Great Lakes College Association member list is a good place to start. You’ll need to check each one to see if they are FAFSA only. If you are from out of the region you have geographic diversity because as with each region of the country the preponderance of students stick within their region. </p>

<p>I’ll add my vote for Earlham. It’s not just non-Greek, it’s anti-Greek; Earlham doesn’t believe in exclusionary groups. There are plenty of sports, but they are in their proper place as part of a whole array of student activities (to give you the picture: the biggest, most popular activity on campus isn’t the football team, but the student-run dance group). I won’t say there are no parties, but Earlham social life doesn’t revolve around alcohol, and one of the dorms is set aside for students who wish to abstain entirely. It’s well-regarded by grad schools and it offers a very fine liberal arts education. And it’s small. :)</p>
<p>Earlham offers both merit scholarships and need-based grants.</p>
