<p>…a very late response on need based aid vs merit aid…kinda back to a discussion I had in the #15 to #20 range of this thread. It still kinda bugs me.</p>
<p>Carleton does give significant Merit aid and does give scholarships that are kinda in the fuzzy area between merit aid and need based aid. A link to some these scholarships are below from the Carleton web site. </p>
<p>[Carleton</a> College: Information for International Students: Scholarships For International Students at Carleton College](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/intl/looking/scholarship/]Carleton”>http://apps.carleton.edu/intl/looking/scholarship/)</p>
<p>While these are for international students, they aren’t really need based…or are sort of in-between. It shows that Carleton is willing to give merit based scholarships. There may be significant merit based scholarships for Americans at Carleton. I’m not sure.</p>
