RIT: Not meeting too much need?

Perhaps it’s the difference between early and regular decision, but is anyone else not too overwhelmed with the merit aid (no news on need yet) vs. the cost of attendance? I looked at IPEDS and it was hard to figure out how needy you have to be to get their need based aid. Already know they don’t stack.

I think the most scholarship is $18,000; see https://www.rit.edu/emcs/financialaid/table_merit.html
