Does anyone feel the CSS Profile is not being considered for the Class of 2025?

Can someone help me understand this better? Let’s say my efc is 40k and the school costs 65k. Will I most likely (not definite) get 25k in grants? I’m trying to figure out how scholarships come into play. If I get a scholarship then technically will my grant be less money? I don’t see why it’s fair to consider merit scholarships since the student earned it- that’s why they call it merit scholarships.
