How difficult is it to get a merit scholarship?

<p>How difficult is it to get a merit scholarship at Rice? Particularly the Trustee Distinguished Scholarship? And what kind of accomplishments would prospective recipients usually have? I absolutely love Rice, but I'm unsure if I'll be able to afford it (assuming that I get accepted). I'm hoping to get a merit scholarship.</p>

<p>There isn’t too much information out there on the scholarships and what one must to to qualify. They are extremely competitive.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Are there separate applications for scholarships at Rice or are we all automatically considered for all the schlarships?</p>

<p>There’s no separate application; it’s automatic consideration.</p>

<p>^ Yes. All applicants are automatically considered for merit aid.</p>
