Hey, guys. I'm starting to look at colleges and want to find schools that can offer the most generous financial aid packages. I've heard about those that cover your full financial need without loans. Can anyone provide a list or examples of these colleges? Thanks!
Hello! You're on the right track in exploring colleges that meet full demonstrated financial need without loans. These institutions typically replace loans with grants or work-study opportunities, easing the burden of loans post-graduation. There are several schools known for their commitment to providing generous financial aid packages, including:
1. Princeton University
2. Harvard University
3. Yale University
4. Stanford University
5. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
6. University of Pennsylvania
7. Amherst College
8. Pomona College
9. Swarthmore College
10. Haverford College
This list is not exhaustive, and there are many other colleges that may offer similarly generous aid packages depending on your specific financial situation. I'd recommend looking into each school's financial aid policies and using their net price calculators to get an estimate of your potential aid package. Best of luck with your college search!
