A bit more specific question regarding scholarships/the matching program...Need a bit of reading comprehension help here.
"Merit-Only Scholarships: Criteria for selection include standardized test scores, cumulative grade point average, leadership, extracurricular activities, and other performance criteria, i.e., leadership positions in student organizations, etc.
Need, Disadvantage, or Adversity Scholarships: Scholarships are awarded using a variety of factors that include financial need, demonstrated commitment to public service, history of overcoming economic or other disadvantage, overcoming disability, service in the armed forces, and other factors, including standardized test scores and cumulative grade point average.
Merit and Need Scholarships: Criteria for these scholarships include merit criteria and financial need. For academic year 2009–2010, 80 percent of scholarship aid was merit/need-based."
quoted from UT Law schools sholarship link. From what i gather, these are three distinct categories: merit, need, and merit/need. I was told that a 167 LSAT was required by a financial aid rep. for merit scholly's, when i asked if this 167 requirement counted for the 80% of scholarships that were given out that were merit AND need based, she seemed to not really know what I was talking about...
Am I reading the site wrong??
