Nurturing, liberal LAC or Univ honors prgm that gives merit aid?

<p>I would suggest Bucknell too. My D is there with a merit and music (non’major) scholarships (10,000 and 2500/yr). For music Bucknell has a separate application due Dec. 1 with a music supplement. Looking thru Bucknell’s website they offer a merit scholarship thru the engineering program (for women) and the math program, I think 8000/yr each. Maybe if your D got into Bucknell she could appeal for these scholarships. Just so you know it seems that many schools that give out Merit don’t consider giving it to you until after you are accepted. They want you to show interest and it helps if you can show other schools offers. I know a kid who is so confused now with all of his offers that he only got after he asked for the merit money!. Other schools that kids from here have gotten nice merit money from with high stats are Vanderbilt (full tuition), Lafayette (Marquis 16000/yr), Union College, Boston College. just to name a few. So if your D is interested in a particular school, scour their website to see if there are any additional applications. I thought Claremont, and Scripps have merit with additional applications. Good luck to your D.</p>
