I’m wondering about the merit aid situation at Washington Univ. As far as I’ve been able to tell, they offer fairly small guaranteed merit scholarships to NMF’s of $2000 or $2500/yr. They also have some large named competitive scholarships, but only “up to 10” awards for engineers, probably the only one my daughter might be eligible to apply for. The net price calculator said in red letters “Merit scholarships are available and have not been included.” They included the national merit, so…are they talking about some other merit scholarships, or only the “up to 10” scholarships that she is eligible to compete for vs. hundreds of other students?
