		+	Todd Eckdahl found this page [http://www.meritaid.com Merit Aid.com]. I looked at it based on what I know (Grinnell and a few other schools listed below). I found this site to be slightly out dated and not as detailed as I would have hoped. Also, I worry that some schools might pay to have their names rise higher on the search list than they would have with objective searching. Nevertheless, you can search by school name and get a summary of this web site's info, but you could go directly to the school and do the same thing with real authority. - Malcolm
