What do we think about public schools offering non-need based merit awards? Is that a problem? Does it serve the school’s mission? Is there a difference if those awards go to in-state or out-of-state students? Will our thoughts on this change as the states suffer more and more economic problems?



Excellent questions, and to add … is the better way of doing that to throw a little money at a lot of kids, or a lot of money at fewer kids (a la what Alabama is doing)?
