"Do you intend to apply for financial aid?"

<p>This is a question on the application. Does this include merit-based scholarships or does checking this box only mean you are going to apply for need-based aid?</p>

<p>My family doesn't qualify for any need-based aid, but would definitely still welcome merit scholarships. So do I say "yes" to this question?</p>

<p>I believe there are separate boxes for need based and merit based.</p>

<p>That is talking about need-based financial aid. Everyone is automatically considered for merit based scholarships no matter how they answer that question.</p>
