<p>Remember: this is a MERIT scholarship. U Chicago has a need blind admission policy that provides financial aid on a need basis. This merit scholarship is in addition to the need based financial aid the school provides to the students. </p>
<p>U Chicago is a very rare USNWR top 10 schools that provides merit scholarship. I believe this was made possible by an donor who gave the school money specifically earmarked for merit scholarship regardless of the financial needs. </p>
<p>Almost all tippy top USNWR top 10’ish schools ONLY offer need based financial aid. NO merit scholarship.</p>
