Who qualifies for the pledge (in addition to common requirements)?
All students.

How is EFC determined and used?
Institutional Methodology. The parental portion of the EFC is waived for students with family incomes below $60,000. Between $60,000 and $120,000 the parental contribution is on average between 1% and 10% of income, and between $120,000 and $200,000 the parental contribution averages 10% of income. Regardless of income, a student contribution of $1,200 is required.

How much academic year work and/or need-based loans are included?
No loans and $2,600 in work.

Does the offer account for the full student budget?
Yes.

How are outside scholarships handled?
Outside scholarships reduce the work-study expectation and student contribution before reducing grant aid.
