<p>So I got a great package this year, but can I expect an equally great one for all four years? (Assuming my need doesn't change.) Because I've got a sneaking feeling that they're just giving me a good award this year to reel me in. And, is the under 80,000 no loan promise going to be in effect for all four years, as well?</p>
<p>I can vouch for good financial aid at Rice all 5 years and counting! My DD got a great package at Rice (merit scholarship with only a 2.8 g.p.a. renewal requirement and some need-based aid) and no loans. We paid almost exactly our FAFSA EFC each year. When DS started at Rice also, and with two in college, we paid almost exactly half our EFC for each of them. Now that DD has graduated, with just DS still at Rice, our FA package has been about our FAFSA EFC again this year. No surprises. Consistently good! :)</p>
<p>Wow! Sounds great! Thanks. (:</p>
