Are scholarships available for Early Decision applicants?

<p>I've read on this board posts from people accepted regular decision being offered partial scholarships (such as 1/2 and 3/4 off tuition). Are these scholarships offered to only RD applicants, or do ED applicants have scholarship opportunities as well?</p>

<p>I'm inclined to say that merit money is solely for RD applicants. Merit scholarships are generally reserved to "lure" students to the school. Theoretically, it makes no sense to entice a student who has already committed to the school via the ED policy.</p>
