SCHOLARSHIP: CORNELL (tata)
aditya birla scholarship (for admission to usa?)
Need Blind: MIT, HARVARD, YALE, PRINCETON, DARTMOUTH, AMHERST, WILLIAMS, MIDDLEBURY
Need Sensitive: BROWN, COLUMBIA, NORTHWESTERN, WELLESLEY, STANFORD
Merit Aid:
His SAT were also strong 2260, but not perfect. He was awarded merit money (from full rides down to $18K) to Davidson, W&L, Rice, USC, Wake. Accepted
to Columbia and Williams (no merit and we do not qualify for financial aid- we are "full pay"). Waitlisted at Harvard and Yale. Rejected to dartmouth. The one
merit scholarship I did think he had the strongest shot at (aside from USC) was the chancellor at Vanderbilt.
Yes there are top 30 schools that offer merit..... Vandy, WashU, Rice, USC, Duke, UChicago, Emory, Cal, UCLA and UMich are some of the Top 30 that offer
merit.
At Uni of miami, about 7 students get full rides (courtesy of the Stamps foundation which contributes to a handful of Universities across the nation), and I think
maybe 75 get the Singer scholarship which covers full tuition for four years.
Some schools in the top 30 and even the top 10 do offer merit aid (whether we're taking about national universities or LACs). These include Chicago, Duke,
WUSTL, JHU, Rice, Vanderbilt, USC, Wake Forest, and UNC (USNWR top 30 universities), as well as Davidson, Grinnell, Smith, Oberlin, Macalester,
Colorado College, Richmond, and Bucknell (USNWR top 30 LACs).
Usually it is for top 1% to 5% of the class; Duke has 15, JHS 22. It depends on the school and the amounts they offer.
Tulane++
Only about 1 percent of freshmen at Boston College, Skidmore and Johns Hopkins, for example, get merit aid.
The University of Southern California offers 100 full-tuition scholarships, more than 200 half-tuition scholarships and more than 250 awards equal to onequarter of its tuition to freshmen each year.

The University of Chicago, which often competes with the Ivies for students, gives scholarships that average $10,600 to 16 percent of its freshmen.
the University of Alabama still provides automatic full-tuition scholarships to both in-state and out-of-state students who hit high levels on their standardized
admission tests.
40% of Berkeley students pay no tuition.
University of Delaware, Univ of Rochester
My D got full ride of Washington and Lee. The cost of tuition, room and board, books and etc comes to about 52K. The scholarship is 53K renewable for 4
years with a 2.7 gpa. She thought the gpa requirement was easy.
Uni of Richmond,
Brandeis, NEU, CWR, ++
