Need blind schools?

Paying for College

<p>ccco, F&M is NOT need blind in admission. It is need AWARE. They say so outright. But if admitted, they guarantee to meet 100% of need. They also say they are only need aware to a small % of students. How they identify that % they don’t say, but the factors usually involve how competiive the students are in the admissions pool, how much need they have and when the admissions directors got to their apps. Once the money starts getting low as awards have already been made, the late comers with need tend to get more scrutiny in need aware scenarios. </p>

<p>Jym, one problem with that first article cited is that there are a number of schools that do guarantee to meet full need and do include loans in their package as part of the aid. In fact most do consider loans, Perkins and sub Direct as aid. Alot of schools that loftily proclaim a no loans policy, have a large student contribution, do award work study, and if a student has no job, no money, where do they think they will come up with that money? When one asks, the schools will point to the Direct Loans. There is stilll a lot of standardization in info that could be useful though NPCs have made great inroads.</p>
