Question on Financial Aid

I was wondering how financial aid at BC is. If you have an income of <40K how will you fare? On average what is the financial aid offered to students and does this include loans or is mainly grants?

For me, with an EFC of 0, I got mostly grants some loans.

They are pretty generous if you're dirt poor, but otherwise I hear that they are not as generous if you have a higher income.

I got a pretty good Fin. aid package from BC. I have $4800 fed loans and my parents have to pay $2700(when my efc is somewhere between $2400-$2600). The rest is BC grant. So, I would say that if your parents earn less than $55000, you will get a pretty good fin aid package.
