I recently emailed the financial aid office regarding the consistency of my financial aid package over the next four years. Although my need-based grant will stay relatively the same as long as my family’s financial situation stays the same, I am highly concerned that Bucknell is under no obligation to award additional funds to cover tuition increases from year to year (according to their website, their costs increase 3.5% per year). Are these tuition increases significant? And to current Bucknell students: what is your experience with financial aid and how have the fluctuation in costs impacted you (if at all)?
