Just a suggestion since he wants to stay in California. The Claremont Colleges - includes Harvey Mudd (excellent for engineering) and Pomona - potential pre-med? Harvey Mudd has some merit scholarships not based on need. Pomona’s financial aid meets 100% need with no loans (I think Mudd does too). If he is willing to look at other parts of the country there are a lot of schools where his stats would earn merit money. Have you run a FAFSA forecast to estimate your EFC?

I go to Harvey Mudd in Claremont, CA. I know several soccer players that go to the various Claremont Colleges, a consortium of five small colleges. The soccer teams, i.e. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Pomona-Pitzer, are pretty good. </p>

<p>(1) Pomona meets full need without loans, but does not give merit aid. </p>

<p>(2) HMC financial aid includes loans, but offers merit aid. There is the President’s Scholars (full tuition, several a year) and Harvey S Mudd Merit Award ($10k, maybe about 20% of the class gets it)</p>

<p>(3) Claremont McKenna, another school in the consortium, offers merit aid. Here’s the link: <a href=“http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/admission/scholarships/default.php[/url]”>http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/admission/scholarships/default.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
