<p>Does Carleton offer any merit aid? What’s the maximum they offer per year?</p>
<p>Very little merit aid, but quite good with need-based aid.</p>
<p>“Merit Aid: A small proportion of Carleton’s financial aid is given as non-need or merit based aid. The scholarships that are merit based are the National Merit Scholarship, National Achievement Scholarship, and the National Hispanic Recognition Scholarship. Those students who select Carleton as their first-choice college with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation will receive a scholarship worth $2,000 per year, for four years. The Bailey Instrumental Music Scholarship is also considered merit based aid available to students majoring or intending to major in music and who study and perform on orchestra strings, woodwinds, and brass instruments. Auditions are required and the scholarship is worth a minimum of $2,000 per year, plus music lessons and support for summer music institutes.”<br>

<p>About 16% of Carleton students get merit aid averaging $2,644 per year. So just a sprinkle.</p>
