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:Full-time freshmen entering in the fall and showing parental adjusted gross income (AGI on the custodial parents' current year federal tax return) being equal to or less than $75,000 will be reviewed for Tulane's No Loan Assistance (NOLA) if the aid applications (including both the FAFSA and CSS Profile) are submitted to be processed by February 15. Tulane's NOLA scholarship will be added if gift aid* plus Tulane's Institutional Methodology Expected Family Contribution (IM EFC)** does not total at least the tuition, fee and transportation components of the student's standard Cost of Attendance (COA), in an amount to make up the difference; however, final determination of eligibility for Tulane's NOLA program will adhere to the same merit threshold established for need-based Tulane Scholarship. Please note that NOLA is awarded based on information on hand and will be reduced if additional information for the student's financial aid file results in an IM EFC increase, and/or non-NOLA gift aid is increased or is found to be higher than was included in an earlier evaluation, and/or the current year federal tax return AGI for custodial parents becomes larger than $75,000. *Gift aid includes but is not limited to any scholarship received from Tulane or ROTC or other sources, tuition waiver, tuition exchange and/or any discount to full-time tuition or rebate of tuition; however, for purposes of NOLA, Tulane will exclude Louisiana GO Grant and Louisiana TOPS from the gift aid total. **IM EFC varies according to a myriad of factors (for example, earnings, assets, non-custodial parent contribution, number in family, children in college, state of permanent residence, age of parents, etc.), and therefore families with identical adjusted gross incomes will rarely have identical IM EFC's. The Expected Family Contribution is not an evaluation of current disposable income, but rather reflects an analysis of what the family should have available to contribute towards the students' upcoming annual educational costs.
