<p>Help please! I'm searching for scholarships and I'm having trouble finding the best merit-based ones. Any help/advice is appreciated :)</p>
<p>Aren’t you the student who got accepted to Columbia ED and didn’t ask for aid?</p>
<p>If so, you need to decline Columbia and apply to schools with aid and merit money.</p>
<p>There aren’t outside scholarships that will give you $55k for for 4 years to attend Columbia.</p>
<p>I’m concerned that you’re setting yourself up for a huge disappointment and no good school to go.</p>
<p>Or…did your parents agree to pay for most of your education at Columbia, but you only need a small amount?</p>
