USNews Top 100 Doctoral Colleges - Merit v. Need Only

<p>I’m confused about how Chicago can offer 70 scholarships to 7000-8000 students yearly?</p>

<p>We offer full-tuition scholarships to 20 students each year. We offer partial-tuition scholarships to around 100 students each year. We admit 3,600. We have 9,500 in our applicant pool, all of whom are eligible for these scholarships. Where did the 7000-8000 come from?</p>
