<p>On the Smith website, it says that the merit scholarships are available to "first year US citizens". Does that mean they're not available to permanent residents?</p>
<p>It sounds as though that might be the case, but I suggest that you call the admissions or FA office to confirm. Since none of us are official Smith representatives, we cannot offer a definitive answer.</p>
<p>I would always call the college itself on that kind of question. There can be footnotes, exceptions, etc. such that only somebody who actually works there in an appropriate capacity can tell you for sure. Internet message boards aren't the best resource for all questions.</p>
<p>okay, thank you</p>
<p>There are very, VERY few merit scholarships for anyone, outside of the STRIDES.</p>
