<p>Do you really not see why I’m calling it fake?</p>
<p>It’s fake because Hendrix gives everyone, and I mean everyone, lots of what they call ‘merit aid’, but very little financial aid. In other words, they know how much they are willing to give each student total (‘total’ meaning both merit and financial aid), and they categorize nearly all of it as ‘merit’ aid, even though most of it is not merit aid at all, but financial aid – and they call most of it merit aid as opposed to financial aid as attempt to entice you to go. Hence its fakeness. </p>
<p>To use myself as an example, I received $12,000 in ‘merit aid’, but only 3,000 in financial aid.</p>
<p>And all the people I know who’ve applied to Hendrix have gotten way more ‘merit aid’ than financial aid.</p>
