[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school claims nearly 60% receive [b]significant aid[/b], much of which is need-based aid.[/quote] It doesn't say "significant", it says "financial aid". This is a trick statement that most SLACs use, including my own, to make the institution look more financially benevolent than it is. I learned this when I served on my SLAC's board. Those statements include all students, like my own, who applied via FAFSA and are taking out the unsubsidized federal student loans of $5500-$6500 a year. My students didn't receive a single dollar from the schools they attended, yet they were included in that "X% receive financial aid" figure. It's deceptive. [/quote]
