Princeton
Jul 11th, 2009 | By Samuel | Category: Need Blind AdmissionsPrinceton’s aid program is based on four fundamental principles:
1. Admission to Princeton is need-blind for all applicants, including international students. Need for financial aid is not in any way a disadvantage in the admission process. Princeton welcomes applications from talented students of diverse economic backgrounds.
2. University aid is awarded solely on the basis of need. There are no merit scholarships.
3. Need is determined through a careful review of each family’s financial circumstances.
4. The full need of every student is met with an award consisting of University grants, scholarships from external sources, and a campus job. No student is required to take a loan to pay Princeton’s costs. These principles are discussed under the following headings: “Determining Financial Need” and “Assigning Aid.” A brief description of student loans is also provided. While loans are not included in the initial award, they are available on request to replace summer or term earnings shortfalls, or to help cover expenses beyond the standard student budget.
Determining Financial Need
It is worth repeating that Princeton financial aid is awarded solely on the basis of financial need. No University aid is given based on a student’s talents or achievements.
Need is defined as the difference between the student budget and Princeton’s estimate of what the student and his or her family can afford to pay toward these expenses. The parents’ contribution, the student’s summer earnings, a portion of the student’s own savings, and educational benefits are the family resources that are compared with Princeton’s costs to judge whether or not the applicant needs financial assistance.
