merit based aid at CMU?

[mrfeh]

My son won’t be eligible for any need-based aid. Question - does CMU offer merit-based aid? If yes, how often and in what amount?

Thanks.

Does Carnegie Mellon award merit scholarships?
We do not award any scholarships based solely on merit. Carnegie Mellon offers Carnegie Scholarships to academically- and artistically-talented middle-income students who qualify for little to no need-based financial aid. You must apply for need-based financial aid to be considered.
