Institutional Aid
If your institution has recently implemented any major financial aid policy, program, or initiative to make your institution more affordable to incoming students such as replacing loans with grants, or waiving costs for families below a certain income level please provide details:• Zero parent contribution: Parents with annual income below $65,000 and assets typical of this income level are not expected to contribute towards the cost of tuition, manda tory fees, room, or board. • Students from families with annual income below $125,000 and assets typical of this income level are assured of at least enough scholarship funds to cover the cost of tuition. • Students from families at higher income levels (typically up to $200,000) may also qualify for aid based on a full analysis of their financial situation (including family income and assets, household size, cost of living, the number of family members in college, or other special circumstances).
