<p>A popular thread last year was the Scholarship Awards thread, to track merit award offers. If you're willing to share, please list the following information for all merit award offers, not just the one your child ultimately accepts:</p>
<p>Name of school, amount of award, GPA/test scores, any special reason for the award (special talent, EC, etc.).</p>
<p>We hope this will help parents and applicants get a sense of what it takes to get merit money at various schools.</p>
