Can Anyone Describe Their Financial Aid Process?

Bryn Mawr’s web site says they only give need-based aid, and a google search lists them as being against merit aid. Yet the Princeton Review website shows them giving academic and leadership merit-based awards, and the premium U.S. News service has them giving average merit awards of $10,397 to 3% of students. I saw one website where someone speculated that this might be awards to athletes (some DIII schools do give “leadership” awards to athletes although they’re not supposed to give athletic scholarships).

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

thanks!
