We just got word that Connecticut College just gave my daughter $26,382 in CC Grant. This is Grant Scholarship not Merit Scholarship but it is still very good.

Daughter’s Rank by School she got accepted:

1. Holy Cross, MA: $57.5 - $8,500 (Grant) = $49,000

2. Providence College, RI: (Accepted to Honors Program): $57.5K - $18,000 (Merit) - $8,000 (Grant) = $31,500

3. Connecticut College: $60.8 - $26,383 (Grant) = $34,417
4 Stonehill College, MA: $51.7- $20,000 (Merit)= $31,700

4. Wheaton College, MA: $58.5K - $20,000 (Merit) + $9,000 (Grant) = $30,000
** Grant Scholarship: Do not pay back but the school will review our income every year. This figure can change every year.

I wonder why Connecticut College gave more money to my daughter than HC. Connecticut College gave her $26,383 Grant Scholarship but Holy Cross only gave $8,500 Grant Scholarship. Holy Cross is very tight with their money. HC are supposed to have great alumni and Endowment Market Value of $634,912 and $218,784 per student and they are tight with their money. I do not get it.
