[Financial</a> aid budget to increase by 8 percent | Yale Daily News](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2010/dec/16/financial-aid-budget-increase-8-percent/]Financial”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2010/dec/16/financial-aid-budget-increase-8-percent/)</p>
<p>Although Yale increased their financial aid by 8 percent, my son’s preliminary financial aid offer from Yale (with 2 kids enrolled in college next year) was less than my daughter’s financial aid award this year at Harvard (with 1 kid in college). Bottom line: our family will need to compare Yale’s offer with (hopefully) additional offers in March and April.</p>
<p>Right.
I bet Yale’s fin aid will change alot–I think they lowered they ceiling to 130. Wasn’t it like 160 or 180??</p>
<p>^ What makes you believe that the ceiling was lowered?</p>

<p>note 130k…</p>
<p>so while they have “raised” it to 65-130 from 60-120…I think Their institutional methodology (varies by school) has changed dramatically</p>
<p>Compare with the blue book/view books we have pg 118</p>

<p>According to the above news article from 2008, a family making $180,000 with $200,000 of assets with 2 children in college would be expected to pay $11,650 per year. Up until last year, Yale published the above “what if” scenarios, but they’ve been taken off their website this year. Has Yale quietly changed their financial aid policy?</p>
<p>Let’s just say my parents will be paying less for Yale than they do for my sister at UCLA</p>
<p>Oh no…so if I make above the ceiling, will l get anything significant? <:(</p>
