Don't count on ANY merit aid....

You should not expect money for doing well in HS. No one deserves money just for doing the work they have the ability for in HS. It is much better to give money to those who need it than to the many top students who go to UW. Where does this sense of entitlement come from??? You do the work, have the natural ability and of course you get the grades and test scores- so do hundreds of others. I would much rather see funds go to students whose parents aren’t as well off- those for whom a scholarship makes a difference in their college lifestyle.

PS- my academic scholarships made a huge difference to me back in my day- they were awards, not entitlements; I translated my work into some wealth and son didn’t need any.
