Parents of the HS Class of 2026 (Part 2)

There’s a thread discussing it here. D26 saw an increase from RPI.

Colleges that increase merit aid after an initial offer 2026

Three years ago, I started a thread for parents who noted merit aid went up closer to May 1st and after an initial offer. But that thread auto-closed. Anyone care to add their experience this year. So far, I’ve read about Furman, RPI and Wooster. @NemesisLead - maybe you can give the before and after on Furman…and anyone else that can add schools. I know Baylor was in the past thread RPI added $4K per @beefeater . I’m not sure what the original offer was. The list 3 years ago had these below - doesn’t mean they are the same today. But you never know - and it is more a buyer’s market I think than 3 years ago - meaning the school’s need the students more than vice versa. I’ll also note the article on Syracuse U last year which talked about many students getting huge late offers. Good luck to merit chasers out there.
