<p>Am I wrong in thinking merit aid is hard to come by at Loyola? How about regular financial aid?</p>
<p>What do you mean by Merit Aid?</p>
<p>BY merit aid I mean aid not based on need but rather the students academics or leadership abilities.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how hard it is to get merit money at Loyola. My daughter was offered $25 k/yr. last year. Her stats were good but not perfect.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that the Merit requirements are pretty clear(SAT, GPA, etc.). If you qualify you will get some Merit Aid. It is used as a recruiting tool at all colleges to lure the best students.</p>
