<p>MY favorite financial aid program is like the one that Stanford has:</p>
<p>“Under an enhanced financial aid program Stanford established in 2008, parents making less than $60,000 a year are not expected to pay tuition or contribute to the costs of room and board and other expenses. Families making less than $100,000 a year do not pay tuition. Many families earning over $100,000 per year also receive generous aid packages, in amounts that vary depending on income and assets. The program also eliminated the need for student loans. The financial aid program is reviewed each year, and adjustments may affect families at higher income levels. Families and students are encouraged to work with the financial aid office to review their individual circumstances.”</p>

<p>In the latest USC parents newsletter, Pres.Sample of USC spoke with pride that despite the current economic difficulties, USC has THE LARGEST FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM IN THE NATION[ I added the caps for emphasis]. I think that should give a clue to how generous USC intends to be going forward.</p>
