Trinity is known for being VERY generous with merit $ and FA.



Yes and no. We heard of some folks getting much larger merit offers from Trinity and also the opposite. I think I have figured out why. Trinity looks at unweighted GPA for merit offers. Southwestern looks at weighted. So if you have, say, a lot of 88s in AP classes - Trinity would see those as 88s and Southwestern would see those as 100s due to school weighting.
