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:For the 2008-2009 academic year, Yale reduced the average cost of sending a student to Yale College for families with financial need. This was the largest increase in spending for financial aid in the University’s history. The reduction in costs was spread across a broad range of inco mes. Families with incomes below $120,000 saw their contributions cut by more than 50% from the previous year, while most families with incomes between $120,000 and $200,000 saw cost reductions of 33% or more. Families earning less than $60,000 annually will not make any contribution toward the cost of a child’s education, and families earning $60,000 to $120,000 will typically contribute from 1% to 10% of total family income. The contribution of aided families earning above $120,000 will average 10% of inco me. Yale also increased the number of families who qualify for aid, eliminated the need for students to take loans, enhanced its grants to families with more than one child attending college, exempted the first $200,000 of family assets from the assessment of need, and increased expense allowances for foreign students during school vacation periods. Yale calculates financial aid by taking into consideration a family's total income and assets, family size and number of children in college, family medical bills, state of residence, and a number of other factors.
