<p>Does anyone know how the merit scholarships are at Pepperdine? I don't think I would qualify for much need, but I might be able to qualify for a merit scholarship. So how many kids get merit aid every year?</p>
<p>From what I've heard from the adcom that came to my town, Pepperdine only gives merit aid to the top 10% of the students who apply; It comes with 22,000-28,000 and you usually enter with honors. There are also a few department grants and scholarships, but I think you may have to apply separately for a few of the (don't quote me on this part). </p>

<p>I remember my D being one of a few fairly competitive applicants who where dissapointed they did not get merit money last year. It seems they where looking for something more. I'll try to add a link.
