I would not apply ED to any school if you need aid…I can’t imagine how bad it would hurt getting in to your dream school and being unable to attend due to cost.

You can figure out your estimated contribution (EFC or something like that) from the FAFSA. You also need to look at the Profile for Kenyon and most private schools. Kenyon will most likely meet all of your need in grants and loans which turns out to be a decent deal for many students. You have a better chance of getting more grant money (free $) over loans if your stats are better.

Other hints for getting better aid include divesting all student holdings (they get hammered) and a variety of other options you can probably find in books or on the web. Play around with the FAFSA and Profile to see how you can maximize need and hence aid offered to you.
