Merit aid at UMass Amherst

Hello! I am a student looking at UMass Amherst and UConn as possibilities. I don’t qualify for financial aid, so I am wondering what types of merit scholarships these schools have to offer. My current ACT is a 31, Unweighted GPA is a 4.0, and I take many honors and AP courses along with extracurriculars. Ideally getting the cost down to $30,000. Thanks! Also looking at potentially pre-med.

Are you instate for either of these colleges?

Two of my daughters recently applied (within the past 2 years), and got merit bring costs down to $35,000 or a bit below, UWGPA 3.9, ACT 33/34.

Unfortunately not, I live in MD.

It’s possible you could get some merit aid. But I have to ask…you are looking at two big flagship universities….what’s the matter with UMD-CP?
