My D received approximately $10K/year in unsolicited merit awards from each of 7 of the 10 schools to which she applied. Certainly nowhere near COA but nice to have. We are not eligible for need-based aid. She was on a state championship team and had 2 other well- developed ECs. She had a great GPA but horrendous scores. Ya never know…
