gvnee89, MSU absolutely gives merit scholarships to those who deserve them, merit scholarships require just that though, merit. You will not get a merit scholarship to a school like Michigan state with a sub 3.9 GPA and sub 30 (or occasionally even higher) ACT, that puts you as an average attendee. Likewise, you will not obtain merit scholarships from UM because as a student YOU PROBABLY DON’T STAND OUT. This is a university with tens of thousands of students with stats just like you, so unless you have a >2300 and a 4.0, merit scholarships should not necessary be an expectation from a school like this. Schools like Harvard won’t even give these out in the first place, because there’s basically not a single person there who deserves it more than the next.
