Both of my boys filled out those express apps. Did not necessarily get loads of money from all of those schools, but it did give them a feeling of accomplishment. Good practice for filling out other apps as well.
There are a number of schools that give national merit scholars very generous aid, Arizona comes to mind. There have been some interesting posts here on CC regarding getting free college for kids, and lists of schools with generous merit aid.
