@MD0058, JHU awards very few merit scholarships, actually. About 1% of their student body get one.
They do give out fin aid, but I don’t know if that would be enough in the OP’s case.
@PurpleTitan, Thanks for clarifying that. I just know a handful of Johns Hopkins graduates, all of whom happened to have benefited from handsome merit scholarships - clearly, it seems they were from the 1% that you mentioned.
@MD0058, yeah, I only know of 2 people from my HS who went to JHU. Both got a big scholarship from there. The composition of the pool of people we know from JHU may be skewed.
