<p>I have some questions about this merit aid.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Does applying to the merit aid lower my chance to get in the school? (My scores and GPA are not bad at all, but I'm afraid this would happen.)</p></li>
<li><p>Do even int'l students have chance?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Don’t know about international students, but US applicants are automatically eligible for merit scholarships if they are accepted to Grinnell. You don’t have to apply. It does not impact your chances for admission at all.</p>
<p>The admissions and financial aid offices are refreshingly transparent. Ask them if you have questions about eligibility as an international.</p>
