<p>Hi everyone. We're very happy our son got accepted with a nice scholarship. Just curious if the financial figures off the CSS profiled played a part. Some of the scholarship amounts vary greatly with the same stats (SATs & GPAs). Thanks.</p>
<p>I believe it does. I read on a website that around 95 percent of those needing financial aid also received merit based scholarships. Only around 20 percent of those not needing financial aid received merit based scholarships.</p>
<p>Just my humble opinion: They would not have asked for the information so soon, if they weren’t going to use it.</p>
<p>Case has some scholarships for specific majors. Maybe some people received more than one scholarships? Did you write any essays for applying scholarships?</p>
<p>I did not write any essays specific to CWRU. I also did not apply for FA to Case Western, but received a 25k/year scholarship. I may have been part of the group erickkwangg was talking about.</p>
<p>Unsure…my son received $30,000/year and won’t be applying for need-based aid, nor did he complete the CSS.</p>
<p>I received a $17.5k scholarship - I think that it may be partially based on your income bracket, but also on merit.</p>
<p>Best way to find out is to ask!</p>
<p>I also received the 30k scholarship. I didn’t apply for financial aid and wrote no supplement essays. </p>
<p>So I’m assuming it’s merit-based.</p>
