Many students are getting fantastic letters from colleges detailing awards, scholarships, and grants that come with the offer of admission.  Great job!  These awards are NOT need-based, they are merit aid.  The colleges want you to attend, and this is one of the tools they use to get you to say yes. 

But is your award amount fair based on what the college has done in the past?

We’d be glad to help you determine that.  If you sign up for our newsletter in March, we will send you a list of average merit aid awards for Virginia colleges.  In addition, we will do the research for other colleges on your list, just drop us a note.

Merit aid is the best aid there is, but college remains a huge financial transaction. Be thrilled you received some, but be sure the amount is fair.
