Need help choosing schools for DD22

Grinnell does not stack merit add on top of need based aid. The OP would have to run the NPC to see if it gets to their price point.

While scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit, they are considered a resource when determining eligibility for need-based financial aid. For example, if a student has $22,000 of calculated need and receives a merit scholarship for $25,000, this student would not receive need-based aid since the scholarship exceeds the need.
