Financial Aid

<p>I have already applied ED to Claremont McKenna, i know that they give out good finacial aid however could people just let me know what kind of money they gave out compared to other schools that you or your children applied to? thanks alot!</p>

<p>CMC is very generous with financial aid. I applied ED to CMC and received a very generous financial aid package. I only applied to three schools total (I applied ED to CMC and got in, would have applied to many more otherwise), but in talking with other CMC students or kids from my high school, CMC's financial aid packages are VERY generous in comparison to other schools. I know a few friends who came here specifically because they received the most money here. Among the 5C's, it's also generally accepted as the most generous. If you are still applying to other schools (in case ED at CMC doesn't work out), one thing to look at as an indicator of the financial aid is the school's endowment. Bigger endowment=more money for fin aid. May sound obvious, but not that many people connect the two. Hope that helps.</p>
