<p>Has anyone received any merit based incentive scholarship money from GU? I read thru all threads and only things I could find was awards based on need.</p>
<p>I know one student from our high school that got good award 3 years back from GU. But I know recently colleges are not so generous. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>It should be noted that the incentive scholarships that exist also have a need-based component; that is, they are targeted toward those eligible for financial aid.</p>

<p>The reason I am confused is because the student who I know got a very good scholarship did not meet any need based calculation (family income > 200k). So the scholarship was based only on merit.</p>
<p>Are there any students in current year that got merit scholarship? </p>
<p>Trying to figure out if there is any chance of merit based aid for good students who choose GU instead of a ivy league school</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The John Carroll Scholarships award outstanding students who have demonstrated financial need. You have to be nominated from within the university–an admissions officer or a department head. The award usually reduces the amount of your student loan or your work/study and not the family’s actual payment. This may be the only “merit” award that Georgetown gives.</p>
