@momofadult It was my understanding that merit awards are also indications of those students that will be most competitive for performance opportunities during a 2 year MM. If a student does not get any award, aren’t they less likely to get substantial roles than the student that wins “full rides” or large scholarships? To me, this is an indication of relative talent, and while the unfunded student still may be quite talented, his/her growth may be better at a place where they are at the top of the talent pool and will receive financial support.
