<p>If Colorado College (or Colgate) interests you, Google for the school’s “Common Data Set”. Section H provides details about financial aid. For 2012-13, 182 of 510 entering Colorado College students were determined to have financial need; all 182 were awarded financial aid (averaging $40,524). On average, the college covered 99.5% of determined need for those students. 100% of determined need was covered for 175 of the 182 (96% of them). Of course, it’s the college (not the applicant) that determines “need”.</p>
