<p>How much do they normally give out to students per year? This is a really expensive college, more than MIT! I got 14.5K/year but I hear about people getting full rides.</p>
<p>If you go to WPI's web site you can find their statement regarding this but from memory I believe it states that merit awards range from $10,000 to $25,000/year.</p>
<p>It ranges as low as $5000 :-(</p>
<p>Does that 25k cover need based aid as well?</p>
<p>^no, its solely merit based from my understanding. i got 14k in merit scholarship, and they havn't found my FAFSA until like 2 days after they filed the merit aid.
i have EFC 0,so im probably looking at some generous need based aid, almost full ride iguess</p>
<p>Dork as Ren stated. We are only discussing merit scholarships. They are separate from need based financial aid.</p>
<p>Ren, if you think they are going to give you $36 in grants, you are dreaming! Maybe a little bit in grants, but lots of loans that you have to pay back and work study.. not exactly a free ride.</p>
<p>I just received a $20,000 merit scholarship (5k each year). still waiting to hear about need-based aid.</p>
<p>Ohhh, thanks for clarifying that up. Can't wait for RD letters to come out! :D</p>
