I think Harvard is also targeting based on income - the packet we received stressed their "zero to ten" financial aid initiative,
I think you're right about Harvard...my DD attends a "school within a school" and the main school is in an economically depressed area (ALL students receive free lunch...which I don't understand but okay...) and she has gotten flyers from almost all of the Ivies, I'm pretty sure based on the assumption she's in the economically disadvantaged group. That said, we don't expect a penny from financial aid so happy those programs exist for those who need it...and any sort of merit aid will be welcomed.
PS-U of AL not only pays for tuition, housing, books, etc, last I read they also award a stipend (?$2,000/year or semester) for National Merit Scholarship Finalists. They treat their NMSF students really well...and the football team isn't bad, either
