<p>Asian kids attend a northeast prep school on full fin aid and has received a $175,000 scholarship for high school for four years. He has all necessary SATS and SAT IIs and APs and other extracurricular activities. </p>
<p>He is thinking to apply. Does the college offer need based or merit based aid also?</p>
<p>Since financial aid is very important consideration to us, so we want to know about the endowment for the school. Also how is the History/economics/political scince/International relation departments. Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>UNC's history and political science programs are very good, and economics is also strong. I'm not sure about international relations.</p>
<p>Need-based and merit-based aid are both available.</p>
