Princeton’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.

Hi my name is Dawit Wondimeneh, am an African student studying for an Undergraduate Degree in Civil Engineering in Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. I am doing my second year. I was wondering if there is any way I can get a loan or scholarship to fund my education. My father’s business which was funding my education closed down this summer due to the bad economic climate. I have not even paid my tuition fees for this academic year. I fear I will be kick out of my course soon despite having gotten the second highest mark on my course in the last academic year. Despite putting in many work hours in my part time job, I am still short of the amount needed for my tuition fees in this academic year. I have tried my bank, my university, the Citizens Advise Bureau, friends and Goggling for financial help, but to no avail so far. Is the any place I can get a loan or scholarship? I will be very grateful for any information relating to my problem. here is my email ddawitwondimeneh@gmail.com.
