Gettysburg,Dickinson, Lafayette, Denison, Wooster, are some smaller schools that have merit money as well as good financial aid.The Catholic colleges are also generous to high stat kids with merit money. Carnegie Mellon has some merit awards for females going into the sciences.

I ran into the same problem with my 5 kids. We spent a fortune on our first one. Could not do enough, could not spend enough. Now we see where that could lead us. Thankfully, my second went to a state uni which was affordable, and the third has his expensive costs mitigated by a merit award. We are looking at schools for our fourth who may end up commuting to a local private uni to meet the budget constraints we have.

Also, Florida has some nice LACs with some scholarship possibilities such as Eckerd College, Stetson and Rollins.
