<p>We also havent really looked at finaid, but maybe it’s worth considering. For a newbie, can a knowledgeable person answer any of the following?
- Does anyone know if there is any estimator or guidelines to determine if one qualifies before going through filing all the forms? I know Princeton has an estimator, would that work or does Yale have something similar?
- Is there a hard cut-off for income, meaning if you are over some level then you wont get anything? Is the $200k a top level? Is it just income or do assets come into play?
- It sounds like finaid if granted is always a blend of 1) student work/earnings, 2) federal grants/loans, 3) Yale aid. Is work always involved?
- If work is involved, what is typically required, both during the school year and summer?<br>
- If you are at the high end of the range and qualify for limited aid, is the work requirement less than if you are at the low end?
- Is there any good starting point for information on finaid that might answer some of these questions?
Thanks all…</p>
