I recently received my award letter from one of my universities and I'm wondering if what they did is standard procedure. I received a merit-based scholarship valued at 20000 a year but apparently am ineligible for any need-based aid despite my EFC being 2000 dollars. Is that normal for my merit-based scholarship to just invalidate any need-based aid completely? All it seems to do is negate all the extra effort of great students who also happen to be poor.
