@3and2Fastball posted:“Love” at a private HA D3 = 66% academic scholarship or more.
The top tier of HAs (which I won't try to define other than as "schools that don't think they need to try to improve their reputations or US News ranking") typically don't offer money based on academic merit--aid is need-based only. The place to find scholarships is at the next level of HAs--great schools, but not quite the name brand of an Amherst or Swarthmore. I know Denison, for example, offers some great academic merit awards and is an excellent school with a baseball team that has been in the Top 25 at various points this year.
