Please chance a very worried Int'l for ED?

<p>I think you know people who stretch the truth.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>In addition to a parent contribution, the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) also includes a student contribution, which consists of a contribution from a student’s own assets, if appropriate, along with a student income contribution from summer earnings which is standard for most undergraduate students.</p>

<p>Self-help is the first portion of every student’s need-based financial aid award and consists of a term-time job.</p>

<p>Financial Need = Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution</p>

<p>To calculate financial need, the sum of the parents’ and student’s contribution is subtracted from the cost of attendance. The difference is the “demonstrated financial need” and is the basis of all financial aid awarded to any Yale student.</p>

<p>So are you going to say that Yale is lying about their FA policies?</p>

<p>

As part of this program, Princeton believes that parents and students should pay what they reasonably can toward the college expenses of their children. The amount of this contribution varies from family to family based on their individual resources. </p>

<p>Students can consider the following options for covering a portion of their college expenses:</p>

<p>Earnings
A high percentage of Princeton’s undergraduates are employed during the summer. Entering freshmen average about $1,530 in net savings after living expenses have been met.
Princeton has an extensive student employment program that enables the University to offer jobs during the academic year not only to students who receive jobs as part of their aid package, but also to students who are not on financial aid. Aid recipients receive priority in placement and are notified of their workplace before they arrive on campus in September. </p>

<p>Does the “no loan” policy mean I would not be allowed to borrow if I wanted to take a student loan?
Loans are available, **and some students request an optional education loan to replace a shortfall in the expected student earnings (term-time job or summer employment) or cover expenses not included in the standard student budget. **

The minimum expected 2010-11 contribution from student leave-term earnings is shown below. We may require more than this amount if your reported earnings from the prior year were unusually high. In cases where this happens, we will reduce your self-help by your excess earnings.
Leave-term Earnings Expectations for the 2010-11 Academic Year:
Class of: Minimum Amount:
2014 $2,800
2013 $3,000
2012 $3,050
2011 $3,100
Priors $3,100 (may be pro-rated for fewer than three terms of enrollment)
For a variety of reasons, many students find themselves unable to earn this much in their leave terms. Some choose to travel or explore unpaid opportunities during those terms. Whatever the case, the leave-term earnings expectation will not ever be replaced with additional scholarship funds, but in many cases we can offer student loans or additional term-time employment eligibility to assist you.</p>
