Is there a chance for merit if not selected as a Richmond Scholar?

QQ: RD mom here. Congrats to all the ED and EA parents and students.

If you were not nominated for the scholars program, what is the likelihood that you will get other merit?

Just trying to manage my kiddos expectations.

Thanks!

Have you seen this?

It doesn’t answer only to say there are $$ beyond Richmond Scholars and Presidential Scholars.

Per CDS, 90 of 833 got merit - the category - N. Number of students in line (A) who had no financial need and who were awarded institutional non-need-based scholarship or grant aid (exclude those who were awarded athletic awards and tuition benefits).

Yet for the entire school, it’s 784 of 3263. That’s a huge disparity - so either they cut back merit or they have a ton of merit for continuing students. Or their # is incorrect.
