About the Financial Aid Pledge (2009-10):
Who qualifies for the pledge (in addition to common requirements)?
Virginia residents with family incomes below $40,000.
How is EFC determined and used?
Federal Methodology. The family is expected to cover the EFC. In some cases, the student contribution may result in an unsubsidized Stafford Loan or PLUS (Parent Loan) being part of the offer.
How much academic year work and/or need-based loans are included?
No loans. Work-study is not generally required.
Does the offer account for the full student budget?
Yes.
How are outside scholarships handled?
Gateway students have all of their need met with grants, so outside scholarships reduce institutional grant aid.
