| How is financial aid determined? The expected parental contribution is based on parents' income and assets (including home equity), family size, number of siblings enrolled in college, as well as other factors such as extended unemployment or unusual medical expenses. The student contribution is derived from expected summer earnings, savings and other assets. The parental contribution and the student contribution equal the family contribution.
When parents are divorced or separated, the financial ability of the non-custodial parent to contribute is taken into consideration.
If your family contribution is less than the total cost, you are considered to have financial need. This is met by some combination of student loan, campus job, Williams scholarship, and other state, federal and private grants. |
