<p>^ its probably because I don’t know what I’m doing, but when searching through the purdue website I found no half-full tuition scholarship offers - [Purdue</a> University - Merit_Scholarships](<a href=“Learn about Purdue University - Undergraduate Admissions - Purdue University”>Learn about Purdue University - Undergraduate Admissions - Purdue University)
Well actually the largest scholarship you can get (scroll down) is 16,000 which is a lot, but I could probably get comparable FINANCIAL aid, not scholarships, at top schools like Stanford. Not saying I would get in those, but it would be better than the same money at Purdue. But you said you got a combination of awards, so I guess they do combine awards. How much were you offered anyway? So in that case, there’s no harm in applying to see what I can get.</p>
