<p>UNC</a> News - UNC awards $2.8 million in merit scholarships</p>

<p>Thanks for linking that! </p>

<p>Add the Robertson (UNC) and Morehead scholars and you have an even larger figure.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, a larger number of students receiving scholarships but neither the Robertson nor the Morehead use any money from the UNC scholarship fund/budget; both are privately funded and independent of UNC.</p>

<p>This also illustrates how little merit money is out there for OOS students outside of the Robertson and Morehead so the competition for those awards must be very intense.</p>

<p>True, but comparing UNC’s OOS tuition (~25k) to similar caliber schools 33k-40K+ – it’s like every student gets at least an 8k dollar merit award for just getting in.</p>
