<p>IF you look at the freshman students who applied for aid ~73% received some sort of financial aid. ~ 64% had their need fully met (this does not mean that each student had a 0 EFC. Remember there are probably students who only “needed” a subsidized loan. IF they got one, then all of their need was met).</p>
<p>The “average” package of $31,675 only covers ~ 57% of the cost of attendance.</p>
<p>If you are talking about “free” money 22,700 only covers ~41% of the cost of attendance.</p>
