<p>It looks like they were getting too many NMF applying to get the full tuition, so they changed it to 1/2 tuition and then they pick 50 of those to offer full tuition to, the University Scholars. When I called the financial aid office, they said they will NOT stack merit and financial aid, which makes anything but the Scholar program useless for low and middle-income students, especially for a school that doesn’t meet full need. As a result, one 3.85 UW, 2200+ SAT kid dropped them off his list.</p>
