Tulane University Merit Schoalrships (Chance me)

I’ve heard Tulane is redirecting their endowment towards Financial Aid instead of merit aid. Tulane is my top school but I need to get it to at least $50k to be able to afford it. I applied EA and do not qualify for any financial aid. However, I also applied for the Paul Tulane Award. (I’m doubtful I’ll receive it, but I’ve heard it sometimes gives an extra 1-5k). Also, my HS historically has a great relationship with Tulane

SAT: 1470 (790 math, 680 English)
GPA: 4.06 UW, 4.5 W (not great freshman year, strong upward trend)
APs: 6 (with 1 Dual enrollment class at state university)

EC: Company dancer (15hr/wk), principal musician (orchestra), publication pending on an independent medical research paper, President of NHS, around 250 hours community service at hospital, leadership and involvement in church.

Essays: Probably the weaker point of my application, but all grammatically correct and interesting stories.
Letters of recommendation: FERPA waived, but I’m assuming these were very strong
Interest: LOTS of demonstrated interest, able to visit prior to pandemic, and attended a number of webinars (they sent me a hat thanking me for my interest)

I would have probably Ed-ed but I need around 26k to afford to attend…because the total cost is around 76k for this year. What kind of merit aid do you think I’ll receive?

If you applied for Paul Tulane, you are automatically considered for Stamps. These competitions are bloody hard in my opinion, sorry.

By the way, how this got calculated “4.06 UW”?
