Socioeconomic Diversity Stats by Pell Grant %

[nrtlax33]

There are many families whose income is between $20000 and $50000 who will not get a grant, so saying that only 10% of the student population at WUSTL comes from families in the lower half is blatantly overstepping the data.

That is totally incorrect. Here is the statements from one Ivy:

*The Federal Pell Grant and most state grants are considered entitlement grants that are based on financial need rather than merit. Therefore, they do not reduce the family contribution. Typically, there is a dollar for dollar reduction in Brown scholarship aid. For example, if you receive a $500 Federal Pell Grant, this will replace $500 of your Brown Scholarship eligibility.

Pell is part of the financial aid packages so it is the most accurate way to count low income students. FAFSA is required to determine a student’s eligibility for school grants.
