<p>But one of the best sources to tap for financial resources are schools themselves -- and some are more generous than others."</p>

<p>See details and listing in article below:</p>

<p>Love that my school Cornell was on the sample list of 10 schools that meet 100% of need ... hate that only 64% of aid comes from scholarships & grants. Princeton looks great ... meet 100% of need with 96% from scholarships and grants!</p>

<p>The Grinnell College figure is quite deceptive. A huge chunk of their grant aid is directed at merit scholarships. If you are needy, expect a mediocre package that will load you with many loans.</p>
