California merit

Cal Lutheran (in Thousand Oaks) will match the in-state COA for applicants who also get admitted to at least one of a specific set of UC campuses, even if the students are from out-of-state. I think the campuses were UCLA, UCSB, Berkeley, UC Davis and UCSD. They have some larger scholarships as well, but this match deal is rather unusual, and guaranteed.

Chapman is getting harder to get the big scholarship money compared to a few years ago.
