<p>Elon is DD top choice, but the COA is daunting. The fellows programs offer substantial aid, and while I have seen the stats, I am interested to hear anyone's experience with those programs, both the chances for being accepted as a fellow and the experience overall.</p>
<p>On a similar note, advice and experience with Elon FA would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Elon has a substantially lower COA than other private schools and as a result they offer less FA.</p>
<p>As Rex212 said.</p>
<p>Lower COA (and Elon remains very committed to being a “Best Value College”)</p>
<p>Some fellows programs offer more FA than others, but the program is wonderful with or without the FA. </p>
<p>FA from the fellows program is in addition to any presidential scholarships.</p>
