need blind AND 100% of need met

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Does anyone have a list or know of where I can find a list of colleges that fit these criteria?</p>

2

<p>only top schools.</p>

3

<p>Using the strictest definition, Princeton and Amherst jump to mind.
I personally don't consider a college telling you to borrow from someone to pay them to be "meeting need".</p>

4

<p>I don't think there are a lot. Vanderbilt Univ. counts itself among them. Loans can be part of the package, no question.</p>

5

<p>thanks, any others? maybe some less-than-top-tier schools</p>

6

<p>Many less than top-tier schools do not have enough endowment to support need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>I can't think of any other schools besides the Ivy League, MIT, and Stanford that offer need-based financial aid.</p>

7

<p>Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>From the Pomona web site:</p>

<p>"Pomona College is one of a handful of institutions in the nation committed to both need-blind admissions and to awarding scholarships and financial aid that meet 100 percent of the demonstrated need of every admitted enrolling student. These policies enable Pomona to choose its students solely on the basis of educational considerations such as talent, promise and ability to contribute to the campus community while removing cost as a barrier to a first class educational opportunity."</p>

<p>

Davidson also eliminated loans. Stanford, Penn, Columbia, Harvard, and Yale are loan-free for families making less than $45-60,000.</p>

PLEASE do more reading before posting incorrect information. Most colleges do offer some form of financial aid, although they don't guarantee to meet full need.</p>

Look into merit aid. There's a good thread on it here:
