<p>I saw on another thread that F&M discontined merit aid beginning with HS class of 2011. But, that info is now 9 months old and I'm wondering if it held true. </p>
<p>Did any of the incoming freshman get merit aid? Or, put another way, did anyone get need-based aid when they weren't expecting it?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I was accepted this year and received nothing for aid, financial or merit, even though I expected to at least receive aid financially. It seems to have held true from everything I’ve heard.</p>
<p>It’s true. My daughter received zippo in merit aid. it was her first choice school but with no merit, it quickly fell to the bottom of the list. She received academic scholarships at all six other institutions to which she applied.</p>
<p>ditto to the above. very disappointing.</p>
