<p>does Emory give financial aid? does it give good financial aid?</p>
<p>I see where you also posted in Vandy. I think both of us give decent financial aid. I don’t know much about Vandy though. They may perhaps treat the “middle class” (100,000-200,000) better than we do. However, Emory has Emory advantage that really benefit those households below 100,000. </p>
<p>Here’s a site with pretty detailed info. on Emory Advantage: [Campaign</a> Emory | Leadership Takes Courage](<a href=“Emory 2036 - About the Campaign”>Emory 2036 - About the Campaign)</p>
<p>I get this by the way. Really solid if you are in those ranges.</p>
<p>As someone who did not get much financial aid from any of the other schools I got into, I would definitely say that Emory gives great financial aid. I was offered significantly more $$$ by Emory than any other school.</p>
<p>Emory gave me a decent amount of FA. My parents were surprised by the award, because they thought we wouldn’t get anything.</p>
<p>Emory has a solid financial aid program, but I have heard that they are notoriously unreliable (if you have problems/questions).</p>
<p>^ everyone I talked to was very helpful. I guess it depends on who your FA adviser is.</p>
<p>Emory, if i’m not mistaken, has the 7th largest academic endowment (money to throw at students) in america.</p>
<p>Keep in mind though that emory giving you a 20,000 dollar financial aid package still costs more than most schools giving you a 10,000 dollar package because the tuition is so high.</p>
<p>It’s more like 13th-15th now Phillipo. It’s been that way for a while I think, even before the recession. However, we still do have lots of money to give out. However, right now Emory is still in its building boom. Every top University experiences it at some time and we started ours later than most. It is both annoying, but cool. But we are not alone, one of my friends/classmates this summer goes to USC, and they are just as bad, so a great deal of money is being spent on construction. Hopefully, it ends up paying off. At least most of the construction is campus infrastructure and academic-related, as opposed to recreation and sports (though I imagine that improving the experience of students here b/c we could use a venue that may provide us with some fun options )</p>
<p>I got decent financial aid. Not amazing, but good enough to allow me to go there.</p>
<p>Both Emory and Vanderbilt gives generous financial aid - more than most of the schools.</p>
<p>Emory University - (Endowment of $4.328 Billion, 16th, $380,937 per student)
Loan Cap Program - Assuming your status is dependent and your family’s total (regardless of their marital status) is between $50,000 - $100,000, the school will cap your need-based loans at $15,000 and cover the rest with grants. (This will not replace PLUS or Unsubsidized Stafford)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Loan Replacement Program - Assuming your status is dependent and your family’s total (regardless of their marital status) is less than $50,000, the school will replace any need-based loans and cover the rest with grants. Your work-study eligibility will be capped at $2,500 and non-need based loans such as PLUS, Unsubsidized Stafford, or private loans (unheard of for this specific financial program) will be taken by the students to meet any other financial shortcomings.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Vanderbilt University - (Endowment of $2.8 Billion, 21st, $???,??? per student)
Expanded Aid Program - All eligible admitted students will no longer have any need-based loans as part of their financial package. (PLUS, unsubsidized Stafford, or private loans will be available)</p>
