Hotchkiss Question!

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Does Hotchkiss ever give full financial aid? I know it's all based on need but I was wondering if this ever is the case, even if it isn't common.
And are they need blind?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I am sure it does. I have no doubt that financial aid at most schools runs the gamut from partial assistance to full grants.</p>

<p>As for “need blind,” the only school I am aware of that claims to be need-blind is Andover.</p>

<p>Right on their FA web page - featured:
[The</a> Hotchkiss School - Admission - Financial Aid](<a href=“Financial Aid | Connecticut Boarding School | The Hotchkiss School”>Financial Aid | Connecticut Boarding School | The Hotchkiss School)
“Range from $6000 to full tuition.”</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Exeter is need blind</p>

<p>Yes Exeter is need-blind too I think…</p>

<p>Exeter is not need blind.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s under guidelines:<br>

<p>Well, if Exeter is genuinely interested in a student who is applying for full FA, wouldn’t Exeter accept him or her? Thanks for the helpful information, too, Neato.</p>

<p>Of course! As will almost any school. PEA is very generous with aid and I guess that leads people to think that it is need-blind when, in fact, it has never actually claimed to be. It does, as does Groton and SPS, have a policy where any admitted student with under a certain income will receive a full grant, but that is not the same as being need-blind. </p>

<p>GemmaV had a wonderful post some time ago that did a great job of explaining what need blind really means. I’ll see if I can find it.</p>
