<p>My daughter just got accepted to Cornell. We are waiting on financial aid package. We are African American and I make less than 40K. does Cornell have the same program like the other ivies where you don't have to pay if you make less than 40K.</p>
<p>I'd like to know too. I'm a junior now, planning on applying ED next year, and my family makes less than 40k a year.
i'd also like to know what "don't have to pay" entails if this is true - are they going to slam us with loans and work-study (although you can refuse w-s, right? but then your loans or EFC probably go up, and not grants?)</p>
<p>Welcome and Congratulations!</p>
<p>The Financial Award Detemination page seems to indicate that some Family and Student Contribution is requested.

<p>The following quote is found on "The Cornell Tradition" web page.
"I have always been in favour of combining labour and study."
Ezra Cornell, 1846.

<p>Since you will have to decide soon, it would be a good idea to contact the Financial Aid office to see what package they are offering.
