<p>Hi - I did search the forum but found no answer to this. Can anyone fill me in on merit scholarships? How do you know which schools give them? It seems like a selective private (note: not highly selective) LAC might be able to give our S money and make it affordable. Looking for someone to speak on this generally - I know the Fiske guide tells if schools give merit scholarships or not but IN GENERAL do you look for schools that aren't as competitive to get into for merit money? </p>
<p>S has SAT 1400 and 3.75 weighted GPA, about 7 AP classes; good extracurriculars incl. Model United Nations, Eagle scout, other clubs
He likes OSU honors program but may also apply to Miami of Ohio, Davidson College, Grinnell, SUNY Stoneybrook. Other ideas?T hanks in advance.</p>
