Eligibility for need-based Aid

=$4,000 |
=$10,000 |
=$25,000 |
NOTE: Some institutions may not be able to meet your full eligibility for aid, leaving a gap between your need for aid and the amount of aid offered. In those situations, if the student wants to attend the college, the family will need to tap other resources (loans, family members, additional work).
