In determining the amount of other resources available to the
student, the College shall take into account the financial support
that can be reasonably expected from income, assets and other
resources available to the parent and the student as computed by
the methodology adopted by the U.S. Department of Education.
Self-help aid, including work-study and student loans, is awarded to
most students applying for need-based financial aid.
In determining a student’s financial aid award, outside resources
including scholarships, grants, and loans will considered to
ensure equitable distribution of funds and adherence to federal
regulations.
International students are eligible for institutional aid, as approved
by the Financial Aid Committee of the College.
Financial aid recipients are informed of the conditions under which
aid is granted at the time the offer is made.
