It isn’t that much but it is a certain percentage of the endowment allocated to ECAS which unfortunately is pretty small in comparison to, again, other CAS (or CAL) units with similar endowments. I’m surprised at how good much of the ECAS academics are considering how the amount of money allocated to it is relatively lacking despite being much stronger now than before the recession (and definitely during it) as the endowment is now like a billion or so higher than pre-2008/2009 times: 5.5 billion to 6.7 billion. You can see the endowment for each Emory unit here: http://www.emory.edu/home/giving/where-to-give/college.html
That (those brackets) would be painful…I think some schools have no loan policies or 60-65k LRG brackets. Maybe 60-65k and 125k is reasonable and then the rest can be pulled from an endowment fund for merit aid. As in, we can throw random, unexpected merit aid at students who didn’t apply for scholars. It can’t be as high 2/3s like many finalists will get. But maybe some people can receive 1/4-1/2.
