LACs that give lots of merit aid?

College Search & Selection

<p>D doesn't qualify for any need-based aid. Can only spend $15,000 on tuition, rm and board. </p>

<p>Just checking to see what suggestions come up. I have a little list of 5 public u's that are ok in the sciences that each will only cost $15,000 for tuition, rm and board.</p>

<p>I had thought we were done with the college search, but I just read on CC that Grinnell gives lots of merit awards. I didn't know that. </p>

<p>Have I prematurely closed the list? Are there other LACs that give lots of merit based awards? The major is in chemistry and a writing minor, GPA 3.7 so far, rising senior, SAT 2200, ACT 30, will retake both after studying. Minimal EC's, which is why I didn't seriously consider any LACs.</p>

<p>The LACs that would give her merit-based aid are probably not as good as your state's flagship public university. What state do you live in?</p>
