There’s nothing complicated here. If you don’t fill out CSS, you haven’t applied for need based aid.

Merit is different and has zero to do with need.

You’ll get it or not get a merit award based on the student’s qualifications.

There’s no one to call or to explain anything to do.

Just make sure you know how merit is provided. Is there an app or consideration happens just by applying. In the case of Whitman, it’s simply by applying.

Btw. There’s a lot of affordable schools with those stats. But they are not the same type schools. In addition to the in state flagshipyiur son would score a great deal at Bama, Arizona, UAH, FSU and to smaller schools like UAH. Schools like Truman State or Miami Ohio would be reasonable. And there’s lower ranked LACS that might work. Hendrix and Oglethorpe both have programs to match your flagship tuition.

I personally don’t see how your need situation is relevant to merit. Perhaps I’m wrong. But separate buckets and separate decision makers.

Good luck.
