<p>Which colleges are known for good financial aid packages?</p>
<p>More specifically, of Yale, Harvard, Vassar, Bates, Haverford, Amherst, Rice and Duke, who would likely give aid?</p>
<p>Harvard has a HUUUUgggeEEEE endowment.</p>
<p>Basically any school that has a large endowment-per-student value.</p>
<p>Are you talking need or merit?</p>
<p>How is Cornell with the aid?</p>
<p>Both need and merit would be nice. My father makes 80k a year, three children. If I can secure aid for music or academics, all the better.</p>
<p>all of them, mostly Yale Harv and Duke as they are large private institutions with lots of resources</p>
<p>isn't Rice very good with covering expenses? I thought the founder wanted there to be no tuition at all</p>
<p>Ivy=no merit aid.</p>
<p>merit aid is overrated. go for the schools that give need-based grants (ie, money that you don't have pay back).</p>
