Does Berklee give good financial aid?

I am applying ED to NYU Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music and am well aware that I may have to drop out of the agreement if I get accepted because they are infamously stingy with financial aid. Berklee was my back up school—obviously because it’s a great school, but mostly because I thought it was cheaper. Don’t know where I got that impression, since I’m looking now, and Berklee + all of the purchases required with being a student there would make it equally as expensive for me as NYU.

Basically the only saving grace would be if they give better aid or scholarships than NYU Clive Davis. Can anyone here answer that? How is Berklee’s aid, especially for families making ~$80k with EFC of $10k?
