<p>People experienced in receiving LU FA: what is the typical portion of the package that is loans vs grants?</p>
<p>I am interested in your individual data, but if there is a link somewhere stating this summary info, that would be helpful for me, too.</p>
<p>well, that must consider how much is your Expected Contribution, family dynamics, other source of financial support(like state funds) + applicant's strength, for example there are more grants for con-students, so some of them got two grants ie a part for college and a part for conservatory, and hence the loan portion will be significantly lower.
Average loan per year median at 5-8k, average grant per year median at 12-18k.
And Lawrence is really not expensive considering the quality vs price

<p>thanks, alex. Great info. a couple more questions:</p>
<p>You can still speak in generalities. With an EFC of 19,900 (20k), LAS, avg app strength (I assume, since there was no money pledged in the acceptance letter*), IL state, would you guess at LU that might mean more loans and less grants?</p>
<p>*Do you know what it means if LU does not put money in the acceptance letter? I see that it has certain academic scholarships on the website. Would you say that they are usually distributed during the FA package, vs at acceptance?</p>
<p>I understand you are alex-- from cc, and just giving your roundabout opinion from presumably some kind of experience, which is a heckuva lot more than my own on this subject. I obviously will contact FAOs, too.</p>
