Paying for College
1

<p>are there any liberal arts schools that offer merit aid/full scholarships?</p>

2

<p>Yes. Go to the financial aid forum and look at the sticky at the top about best merit aid schools. If you are NMSF, look at Keilexandra’s thread in the same forum about NMF scholarships.</p>

<p>Grinnell offers generous merit aid and financial aid both.</p>

<p>hmm I’m not a NMSF. do schools like Wellesley/Amherst/Williams/Swarthmore offer any?</p>

5

<p>No they do not. All financial aid is need based and all schools meet 100% of need (as determined by them).</p>

<p>Most of the top LACs do not offer merit aid. One exception is Davidson College, which offers a few full rides (Belk Scholars) and a number of other significant merit scholarships (some full tuition). Davidson offers to meet demonstrated need, like most top LACs, but also awards athletic merit scholarships to about 10% of the entering class and academic merit scholarships to about 10% of the entering class.</p>

<p>These schools offer need based aid only. No merit aid.</p>
