<p>How generous is U Chicago with finanacial aid?
Or, what kinds of scholarships do they offer?</p>
<p>It seems to be largely hit-or-miss. I got some pretty phenomenal financial aid, but I’ve also heard of people getting some pretty abysmal financial aid. They do some weird things concerning your EFC (for instance, FAFSA and the CSS PROFILE both calculated by EFC as $0, but Chicago calculated it as $4000 ::shrugs::)</p>
<p>As for scholarships, they do offer some merit-based scholarships, but they seem to be extraordinarily hard to come by and I’m not completely sure how they go about awarding them. There is no separate application or anything - they are just drawn from the pool of applicants to the school. However, there is the Odyssey scholarship, which replaces all school loans for students whose families make less than $60,000 a year, and replaces half of school loans for students whose families make between $60,000 and $75,000.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope my very limited knowledge helped a little. Can anyone who knows more care to add anything?</p>
