Merit Aid?

Am I correct in understanding the Colgate doesn’t offer a penny of merit aid? If the net cost calculator says we’d get no financial aid, we will then be paying full boat, period?

Search “merit aid” at colgate.edu for a full response.

Good luck with your college search!

So then, no, I guess. Was just trying to confirm I understood their page correctly.

Check the common data set for Colgate. If it has a 0 for merit aid without financial need, that’s your answer. (Use this for all schools!)

What’s the common data set? Where do I find that?

Found it. Never know that data existed. Shows $203,901 in not need based institutional aid for 2014-2015. I guess that’s virtually nothing considering the need based is over $39mil.

@lexluthor5 The common data set has a wealth of information. It should also list the average non-need based reward per student. Maybe in the next chart?
