How good is Villanova for need based aid? I need a substantial amount of aid and am wondering if anyone here has received good aid packages when you needed a lot. If not, what kind of stats do you need for a large merit award and acceptance into the honors college? I am interested in business and I know VSB is the most selective school at Villanova. Any stats or anecdotal stories would be great, thanks!
I received need based aid from Villanova, and no merit aid. I remember them giving the most generous offer out of all of the schools to which I had been accepted. With one other sibling in college, and income of <$35,000, they gave me a yearly grant of $43,000 and work study worth up to $3,000 per year. I don’t know why Villanova has such a bad rep for financial aid. I’m extremely fortunate and they seem to do everything to try to help those who really are in need. Wish I had more info on merit awards, but hope this helped a little!
