I'm not quite sure what you mean, but our financial aid office is:

- need blind, meaning we consider applications without positive or negative prejudice associated with your financial need or lack thereof; we won't let you in because you can pay the full ride nor deny you because you can't pay a nickel

- need only, meaning we award financial aid on the basis of need and not merit

- full need, meaning we will meet every single cent of your family's demonstrated financial need

thanks!
