<p>I can't imagine a listing like one you (FluteMom) imagine, because the total amount of money often has to do with some combination of need and talent. Too individual. For every kid who gets a lot, there's going to be another who doesn't get anything. That said, some schools do have a reputation for giving less.</p>
<p>About the only thing you will be able to find is whether or not they meet 100% of need (few conservatories say they do.)</p>
<p>I have also heard that NEC is not very generous. I have heard the same thing about Northwestern. S did not apply to either of those schools, so I have no first-hand knowledge. Of our own experience, CIM came through with least - about a third to quarter of the total cost; CCM and Juilliard both came through with about half.</p>
<p>Ranking schools solely on scholarships can be a double-edged sword. Here's a scenario:</p>
<p>School A and School B both have a ton of flute applicants, and both give scholarships only to the top student. Do you aim for school B where the flutes aren't as good, so your D has a better chance of being the best? Or for School A, where your D is not yet at the ceiling?</p>
<p>Don't mean to over-simplify. Different answers for different people. Your challenge (and it IS a challenge) is to find where the grid for cost and the grid for value overlap.</p>
