About the Financial Aid Pledge (2009-10):

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 income of $60,000 or less. Between $60,000 and $120,000 the parental contribution ranges from 0% to 10% of income, between $120,000 and $180,000 the parental contribution is 10% of income. Regardless of income, an expected student contribution of between $1,200 and $1,500 is still required.

How much academic year work and/or need-based loans are included?
No loans and $2,500 in work.

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

How are outside scholarships handled?
Outside scholarships reduce the work-study, then the summer savings expectation (student portion of EFC) before reducing institutional grant aid.
