question about scholarships

<p>i hear that vandy is great at giving merit based aid, and i was wondering how one qualifies to get ANY amount of aid- a little, some, or full. like what are the avg gpas/sat scores?
thanks.</p>

<p>Some, like national merit, obviously don't depend on GPA or SAT at all. Others, like the 3/4 to full tuition scholarships (at least in A&S) are based on the whole application. Most of the people I know who got those scholarships were 1st or 2nd in their class with around a 1550.</p>
