<p>Hello. I may be applying to Cornell sometime soon. Deciding which college I should apply to, I was also wondering what's the financial difference between CAS and CALS? I am from Iowa, not a New Yorker, and I have heard that CALS is great for people instate. Does this apply to out-of staters too? I've heard before that those who make between 75,000 and 120,000 only get 3,000 dollars worth of loans each year. Does this apply to both schools of Cornell? Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>CALS tuition break is for NYS residents only. Financial aid estimator will help you get an idea of the aid you’d receive. I little bit of advice…don’t ever say “I heard” when you can find accurate information about the subject. Both of your questions could be easily answered by exploring the Cornell website.</p>
<p>Well, I meant that I saw that on their website (about the loans). However, since CALS is more of a state school, I thought maybe it didn’t apply to it?</p>
<p>^There are no state schools they are land grant schools. Read about what a land grant school is.</p>
<p>I spoke to the Fin. Aid Office and what really matters is your “family contribution” + “student contribution” (only if you have financial aid, that is).</p>
<p>I am internally transferring from a land grant to an endowed college at Cornell next semester, and the price I pay stays the same.</p>
<p>I pulled out info from our first Cornell visit & it says that student loans in your income range are “capped at” $3,000. In addition it states that 93% of the students in that income bracket receive grant $.</p>
