<p>Anybody know exactly why Villanova apparently doesn't offer as much financial aid as other colleges? Just curious....I got accepted EA, and I'm just a little frustrated by Villanova's stinginess because I really want to go there</p>
<p>Also, do they offer more aid to students accepted EA?</p>
<p>Well it is because it is only recently gaining the national recognition and has a small endowment compared to other schools of it's caliber. With what money they have, they are putting it towards making the school even better, realizing they have a lot of great attention on them and they want to compete with their peer institutions in the aspect of continuing the reputation they have going for them.</p>
<p>i had an interview with an admissions counselor and he said that they don't give out a lot of scholarship aid so they can give out more financial aid. so.... you didn't receive your package yet right? so i don't know how you can characterize nova as stingy yet. and no they don't give more aid to accepted EA students.</p>
