<p>Mayday, where did you learn such a thing? Have you looked at Brandeis’ web site? It took me less than two minutes to find instructions for returning students who are applying for aid for the first time: [Applying</a> for Assistance | Office of Student Financial Services | Brandeis University](<a href=“http://www.brandeis.edu/sfs/finaid/apply-cont.html]Applying”>http://www.brandeis.edu/sfs/finaid/apply-cont.html).</p>
<p>Now, I’ll admit I have no idea how generous Brandeis is in such cases. I imagine a lot of their budget for institutional aid for each class has already been allocated, so there may not be a lot left over in the coffers. But it’s clearly not true that they won’t consider a new application from a returning student.</p>
