<p>Does anyone have any experiences with Merit Aid at Elon? My family won't qualify for need based aid so I'm looking for major money based on academics/ECs. How abundant are such scholarships? How hard are they to get? Thanks!</p>
<p>Elon provides Presidential Scholarships up to $4500 annually to the top 25% of applicants. Also many of the fellow programs have scholarships available. The fellow programs require an additional application, and a competition weekend in early March. Since the tuition costs at Elon are typically 10,000-15,000 less then other private schools there is not a great deal of merit aid available.</p>
<p>I would still apply for need based because from personal experience this past year, I thought I wouldn’t receive any kind of grant, but I ended up receiving a very nice package which was very unexpected.</p>
