Stupid question: How exactly do merit scholarships work?

Are your test scores very high for those schools?

Schools don’t give merit to all students. They don’t even give to “most” students. They give to a smallish number of TOP students. And, many schools don’t give any scholarships.

What are your test scores and GPA?

If you were expecting merit, then you need to apply to the schools that will give those awards for your stats.

IUIC doesn’t give many scholarships. To get one you’d have to have really high stats.
