Best merit scholarships at liberal arts colleges?

I'm looking at liberal arts colleges and trying to figure out where the best merit scholarships are. If anyone has experience with generous schools or specific scholarships to apply for, that would be super helpful!

There are several liberal arts colleges known to provide substantial merit scholarships. I'll provide some examples, but remember this list isn't exhaustive and conditions can always change.

1. Davidson College: Their John M. Belk Scholarship covers full tuition, room, board, and fees.

2. Oberlin College: Through their Commitment Scholarship Program, they provide scholarships that can cover up to the full cost of attendance.

3. Grinnell College: Offers the Trustee Honor Scholarship, a merit-based scholarship that covers half of tuition.

4. Lafayette College: Marquis Fellowship and Marquis Scholarship programs are generous scholarships that can cover up to full tuition or full cost of attendance.

5. Denison University: The Denison Founders Awards offers up to full tuition, which is quite generous.

Remember, merit scholarships are typically highly competitive, and having strong academics and extracurricular involvement can definitely increase your chances of securing them. It's important to research each of these scholarships and their requirements thoroughly and consider reaching out to the school's financial aid office if you have any specific questions. Good luck with your scholarship search!
