List of Colleges and Universities That Award Merit Aid more than $ 10,000
It’s the fate of being in the middle: a good student but not Ivy caliber, strapped by college costs but not eligible for enough need-based aid. The New York Times analyzed College Board data from colleges and universities that award aid based on academic promise. Amounts represent the estimated merit aid given to first-time freshmen in 2011-12 (asterisks indicate final figures for 2010-11). Figures have been adjusted for inflation.
