at the beach Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Since it is college application season, I thought this might be of interest to some of you. Case will now be meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all admitted students beginning with the class that enters in 2017. Here is an article regarding the university partnering with The Posse Foundation that mentions their decision to meet full demonstrated financial need. http://thedaily.case.edu/new-partnership-posse-foundation-seeks-increase-college-access/ ETA: Here are a couple recent articles on need-met colleges. One also includes info on whether schools are loan-free. However, the best way to find out how each college handles their financial aid is to ask them directly. :) http://blog.collegegreenlight.com/blog/colleges-that-meet-100-of-student-financial-need/#sthash.4O7eZV8T.dpbs http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/articles/2016-09-19/colleges-that-claim-to-meet-full-financial-need Edited September 30, 2016 by at the beach 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The article didn't say whether loans would be part of meeting full need. Loans vs. grants makes a big difference... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 If it doesn't say "no loans," you can safely assume loans. If it's no loans or even low loans, you bet colleges don't keep it a secret. It brings in the apps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Also, meeting full need means they will meet what THEY consider your full need, which can be more than your FAFSA EFC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yes, we get zero financial aid except the federal stafford loan. Not a drop of state or federal aid so we are considered "no need". You know because with two in college, of course we can afford $40,000-$50,000 PER YEAR not to mention a third matriculating in 2018. So we would get nothing at a meets need school. We need schools that are generous with merit. Cwru is a great school. Hopefully someone here will be helped by the policy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Good for them! As others have mentioned, it's not a blanket "help for all," but there have been kids at our school who would have liked to go there, but couldn't due to their financial package not being similar to other schools. They were known for being reasonably decent for merit aid, but not terribly good with need based aid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
