<p>Hello, everyone. I am applying to Emory this year (in-state), but one of my main concerns is the cost of attendance. With my GPA, I get Zell Miller, and my family's income is lower than $30k/y, which qualifies me for the Loan Replacement Grant.It does not go really into details about how it works, so, I thought, I might get some first-hand experience here. Did anyone here use it? How much did you pay at the end? If you did not use it, but know this information, your response is important to me too.</p>
<p>All colleges will meet your need as determined by the FAFSA (federal government scorecard). They do that by mixing together grants (money you keep), loans (money you pay back) and work-study (money you earn on campus).</p>
<p>Richer schools provide more money as grants, poorer schools provide more money as loans.</p>
<p>Emory Advantage is Emory’s promise to provide grants in place of loans to those families qualifying under the Emory Advantage guidelines.</p>
<p>Thank you for asking this I’ve actually been curious about the same thing. I really wanted to go Emory but didn’t even bother applying because of the cost. I’m currently at UGA now with zell and pell grant but now that I’m aware of the Emory advantage I’m going to try to transfer to Emory next year.</p>
<p>I agree though it’s difficult to find information on it as everything on the Emory website is relatively vague. Do they just include it in your financial aid package when you’re accepted or is it something you apply for seperately. Is it guarnteed if you’re income is lower than $30k including for transfer students. And do you know if there are any criteria for keeping it such as GPA or limited credit hours or anything? </p>
<p>If anyone could answer any of these questions I would greatly appreciate it as I assume the OP would too haha, Thanks</p>
<p>That level of specificity is best provided by Emory Admisssions. </p>
<p>Why not email them your details and ask?</p>
