<p>Concord</a> Academy: Admissions » Financial Aid » Profile of Previous Financial Aid Class</p>
<p>I was looking around and found this on CA's site.
ON the page is the financial aid applicants 06-07, where they post the approximate amount of money you'll get if you apply for financial aid.
Is this a common chart for other boarding schools?
I know that CA is a school that has a lot of money so it may have a more generous amount for FA, but just wondering.
:)</p>
<p>I have not seen that type of chart on other school web sites. We did get some similar charts in the mail from Hotchkiss and Choate, after we applied for aid.</p>
<p>Wow, the "average" family contribution from is higher for those making 51K to 85k than it is for the 86-120 range...although it is only about $400...</p>
<p>$51,000-$85,000 - $10,604
$86,000-$120,000 - $10,281</p>
<p>When my older son applied to Exeter in 1999, they had a chart like that.</p>
<p>But you see, the contribution may be greater in the 51k to 85k range. however, it doesn't tell the number of people in each family. it could be that most of those families just have 1 child, while the 86k to 120k have maybe 5 or 6 children they need to support. Remember, the situation varies from family to family.</p>
<p>Income range does not address expenses associated with other material factors, such as number of dependent children in the household and amount, if any, of mortgage or medical payments, etc., which can substantially affect financial aid decisions. Many schools also factor in expected travel expenses.</p>
<p>this may not have come out so well. Anyway this is from the Middlesex School web site</p>
<p>Tuition for the school year 2007-2008 is $40,780 for boarders and $32,625 for day students. Additional student expenses range from $1,200 to $2,000.</p>
<p>Intent on enrolling an economically diverse student body, Middlesex offers financial aid to students, based on financial need. In this school year, $ 3.32 million of financial aid was awarded to 31 percent of the student body. The average grant is $ 30,740. Financial aid is awarded to families with a wide range of incomes, as the following chart indicates.</p>
<p>Income Level Grants over $30,000 Grants from 15,001 - $30,000 Grants up to $15,000
$0 - $ 50,000 17 1 1
$50,001 - $ 100,000 16 4 2
$100,000- $ 200,000 17 21 1
over $200,000 0 11 4</p>
<p>Total 50 37 8</p>
<p>sorry about that........ Middlesex FA numbers MIDDLESEX</a> SCHOOL</p>
<p>What I found interesting was how few of the families that qualified for aid actually rec'd aid.</p>
<p>So to sum it up, it's sort of like that but depends on the family members??</p>
<p>umm nyc, what do you mean? I don't see where they showed the numbers of families that qualified for aid that didn't receive any. are you looking at the Middlesex webpage? Am I missing something? :) Actually, I was surprised to see that they gave financial aid grants to people whose parents make over $200K.</p>
<p>oh now I see nyc...you were talking about the concord webpage, not the middlesex webpage. I see what you mean, there are a lot of families who qualified for FA who did not receive it. I wonder what those people did--just go to other schools that did offer FA?</p>
<p>is it possible that the students went to other schools? You may qualify for FA at all the schools you get accepted but you will only attend one.</p>
<p>IMHO, FA is a crazy deal. D#2 received zero FA at two schools she was accepted and a sizable amount at two other schools. This may be a testament to how much you really want the student to attend</p>
