Princeton FA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

Hi guys, I had a quick question

I havent gotten into these colleges yet BUT im running fin aid calculators (my parents are against me applying to schools that are expensive)

I’ve heard Princeton generally has the most generous FA package but my harvard and yale calculators gave me around $12-14k of expected parent contribution, while princeton turned up to be a whopping $68k/year, which I found to be odd (my parents ran all the calculators so it SHOULD be accurate).

I’d like to know does Princeton match FA (I’d really like to apply so I want to convince my parents :,) )

Princeton does not match financial aid. We found their financial calculator to be reasonably accurate but you may wish to contact the FA office to confirm that you have done it correctly.

It sounds like a mistake on the Princeton NPC.

@GeometryForLife Recalcuate. My twins applied last year, great tour and school and the financial aid available was most generous! Their endowment, as well as Harvard and Yale, decrease the tuition for a range of incomes. Good luck!
