<p>Holy Cross offers full tuition merit scholarships for classics and music. Each year they award two Rev. Henry Bean, S.J., Scholarships, which are four-year, full-tuition, merit-based scholarships. Every four years, they award one Rev. William FitzGerald, S.J., Scholarship, a four-year, full- tuition, merit-based scholarship.</p>
<p>They also have a Four-Year, Full Tuition Scholarship to a high school senior who will major in Music and also a full tuition undergraduate scholarship, renewable on a yearly basis for an Organ Scholar.</p>
<p>Kind of weird, since on another page they say they don’t have merit scholarships. I wonder how many students who would otherwise qualify for these particular scholarships don’t even apply due to the other statement?</p>
<p>^ The Holy Cross example proves the point you can’t blindly rely on anybody’s list to go shopping for merit. You have to do your own research and dig up the merit opps that may be applicable to your unique profile.</p>
<p>It may be that a college offers no merit aid, but that other entities offer merit scholarships only to people who attend that college. This can make the research harder.</p>
