<p>I guess you need to define “significant”. Every school we are looking at are LAC’s and all of them offer what I think is pretty good merit aid, mostly automatic, getting the cost of those LAC’s down to state school prices-so for us that is the $14,000-20,000 range. They all have options for more merit aid that are competitive awards ranging from $2000-full rides (tuition, room/board, books, etc.). </p>
<p>bethievt- I have yet to see a LAC that only offers $2000 max. Most are in the $12,000+ range–not that we have looked at all the schools obviously.</p>
