Merit aid and applying ED

When we visited CMC last Fall, my D and I attend the info session. I specifically asked whether applicants who apply ED are on an equal footing with RD applicants for merit aid. The officer was definitive in saying yes, that’s why all applications have to be submitted by 12/1 for merit aid. But I am still a bit skeptical. Merit aid is traditionally used to lure in applicants who might go elsewhere, and there’s no need to do that with ED applicants. Does anyone know of ED applicants who got major merit aid awards, like Seaver or ISS?
