<p>Your award is not merit aid - the few named scholarships we have are loan replacement programs and will not go beyond what your need assessment indicates for your financial aid package.</p>
<p>we were disappointed with our FA from Tufts…especially when compared with a peer school/non-Ivy…Tufts (grant new) of $9600 vs. the others need-based scholarship of $18,400…both gave the same amount in work-study and loans…it’s really a no-brainer, but the inconsistency is disappointing…it definitely makes it hard to know which school you’d go to if the money were the same.</p>
