Eiffelguy, I’ve been finding these financial aid numbers on usnews.com. I’m not really sure what you mean to say about work study. Of course work study is available, but it is also available in similar or greater quantities at peer institutions with larger average grants. Okay, now here are some financial aid data that might interest you, and I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves:

Georgetown tuition+room&board= $40,492
Average financial aid package= $22,344
Average need-based grant= $15,663
Average need-based loan= $3,859
Average cost after grants= $24,829
The average amount earned from work study is not included, but I believe we can extrapolate that that amount totals around $2800. Now, let’s compare Georgetown’s numbers to Princeton’s:

Tuition+room&board= $38,307
Average financial aid package= $25,460
Average need-based grant= $23,660
Average loan= $0
Average cost after grant= $14,647
Again, it can probably be extrapolated that the average amount earned through work study is around $1800.
