I mention this detail because the OP's article told of the suicide of a student attending UPenn on an athletic scholarship.
All Penn aid is need-based. Penn, like all other Ivy League institutions, does not award merit-based or athletic scholarships. Instead, all aid is devoted to helping families who need financial assistance to afford Penn.
Yes, you are correct. A quick re-read confirms that talk of scholarships was introduced not by the OP's article but rather by other posts in the thread.
