Merit Scholarships applying after Dec 1st?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Grinnell College

This is what the Grinnell website says: “priority consideration for scholarships is given to students who submit their application for admission by December 1.”

Does this mean that people who apply after Dec 1st are still considered for merit scholarships?

If so, would my chances be significantly lower? If anyone has received a merit scholarship having applied after Dec 1st in past years, please let me know!

Though my daughter ended up going elsewhere, she received a merit scholarship to Grinnell and had applied post-Dec 1. She is a freshman now, so this was for last year.
Best of luck,
