I read that they are stingy with LPS students… Do they not meet your full need? How much of your need met tends to be in grants?
Have you gone on the penn website?
Yes, but I can’t figure out how bad it is. I’ve read many bad reviews and read their student newspapers, but it doesn’t really specify their “stinginess.” For example, do they only meet like 50% of your need in grants? 75%? etc.
LPS is primarily for adult part time students. If you are attending full time in lieu of other Penn programs tyou cannot expect the same level of aid as the other programs provide.
Tuition is a lot cheaper, though.
What’s your situation?
I’m a nontraditional student in my late 20s. Low income, EFC is zero.
I’ve read that they don’t even come close to meeting or need, and I’ve also read that some people got almost all of tuition covered. Does anyone have any first-hand experience?
