Financial Aid question

<p>I'll be a senior this year and will probably apply to NEU (6 year pharmacy program). I used their net price calculator and it came up with a net price of about $35,000 (~15000 grant, 5500 loan). If I were to receive a merit scholarship (33 ACT and 2100 SAT, just retook both) would that significantly affect my need-based aid?</p>

<p>It would affect the need-based aid as merit scholarships are a factor when determining need.</p>
