<p>ST2, I have heard of this. My son, unfortunately, did not see any such merit aid. I wish that we had, b/c even receiving some nice awards left us feeling uncomfortable about the possibility of it being lost. In your experience are such awards reserved for students with very superior stats? I have not heard of a B+/1300 (old sat) student getting this type of merit award, but that definitely does not mean that it does not exist.</p>
