Does the endowment size directly correlate with generosity of financial assistance?

Nope, @collegemom9 . Not to worry. Was responding to OP’s request for “individual experiences.” The Emory comparison was just convenient. My anecodote is that Grinnell gave my godson 2/3 of what others did. Not much to be learned from that, except that, “it depends.”

OP, can’t judge this just by who else got what. Someone with highest need may get more than another does. My kids got great aid at a college with an EPS far lower than some (and still highly selective, not combing for enrollees.)
