This may be repeating some other discussions a bit, but I'd be interested to find out if my son is just unlucky or if there is really a severe lack of merit scholarships for better colleges. We just heard from Purdue -- $0 in merit scholarships. They were nice enough to follow up with a request to accept this offer and sign up for $44K a year!
My son has 36 ACT, 1600 SAT, 4.2 GPA, National Merit Finalist, APs galore, Eagle Scout, etc. Do merit scholarships exist and who exactly is getting them? Also got only $6K from Ohio State. We haven't heard back from some others yet, but I'm beginning to got despondent.
