The local schools have in the past published good description of their Financial aid programs.
These include the total size of the FA pie, how many students receive some FA and what the mean average FA grant is. From this it’s pretty easy to develop a distribution that gives you a good statistical picture of the program. A few people describing how much FA money they got isn’t going to do much for you in terms of building understanding. |

| It also really depends on the assets of the school. We were offered a range of $5K-$40K in aid; we got more aid from the more expensive and competitive schools, so it seems to work a bit like college admissions, in this way. |

| The irony about financial aid is that poor people are not smart enough to beg for money like rich people. Education is like a casino and poor people play slots but rich people know how to count cards. |
