I thought MIT only awards need-based aid and not merit money. So that would be a full-ride grant and not a scholarship.

While certain colleges have had huge numbers of applicants in recent years some of the smaller religious affiliated or liberal arts institutions have had financial problems and have closed. Corinthian, Chester and Lebanon Colleges have had fairly recent closures in addition to Sweet Briar.

The alumnae of Sweetbriar have rallied and the school will remain open for the next academic year!

Never underestimate women with bees in their bonnets :-D!!
