Grinnell College No-Loan Policy

hi. this is an email we just received.

“In response to the financial hardship that many families are experiencing because of the pandemic, Grinnell College announces today that we will eliminate student loans in financial aid packages and replace them with scholarships. This no-loan initiative endorsed by Grinnell College’s Board of Trustees will be effective fall 2021 for all new and continuing students eligible for need-based financial aid and is intended to lower the debt burden on our students. The Office of Financial Aid will continue to offer loan options to families who wish to borrow as part of their college financing plan.”

if grinnell’s not on your radar, then it probably should be now, lmao.
