[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know any specifics in terms of how aid is distributed but at a recent Carleton alumni event the President said one of their top priorities is financial aid for essentially “donut hole” families (how I hate that term). [/quote] We heard this too, from the admissions and financial aid director (who just retired). Carleton says they were concerned that the college was becoming all wealthy, full pay students + students who needed more than 75% of the cost in financial aid. They are hoping to balance the student body somewhat, by offering more financial aid to families with incomes between ~$80,000-200,000, whose "income hasn't increased at the same rate as the cost of college." Like every other college that requires the CSS, they consider more than a family's recent/current income when determining an admitted student's financial need and net price. [/quote]
