Financial Aid Breakdown

<p>Is it a good estimate to say that the Need will be taken care of in like 50% loans and 50% grants…???</p>

<p>I’m trying to picture what the financial aid given will look like. Loans aren’t really aid, but I guess they’re classified as aid.</p>

The stats indiciate that the loan/grant ratio for UPenn is around 66% aid in grants 34% in loans and work study. That would suggest parent plus loans in addition to the usual Perkins and Stafford student loans. Penn does not have a great rep for fin aid</p>
