Financial Aid?

<p>Hey, I was just wondering what kind of financial aid Wheaton typically gives out… I know that not many students qualify for it, so does that mean they are pretty stingy? My EFC is 5500-does anyone know what kind of money they might give me?</p>

<p>Also, if any current students could give me some insight on the competitiveness/difficulty of classes and the spiritual atmosphere, that would be great!</p>

<p>They have an estimate of financial aid on their website: <a href=“http://www.wheaton.edu/finaid/efcws.htm[/url]”>http://www.wheaton.edu/finaid/efcws.htm&lt;/a&gt;
I read on college review sites that they typically cover 87% of the student’s need, which is pretty good. My daughter has been accepted and REALLY wants to go to Wheaton–we’re anxiously awaiting the financial aid offer to see if it’s going to be a reality. If God wants her–and you–there, it will happen.</p>

<p>Wheaton’s financial aid awards are up on BannerWeb (ours was just put up today, anyway). It’s almost exactly what the financial aid estimator on their website showed, so we’re in!!</p>

<p>I went and checked mine…yeah…way too expensive, so it looks like I’m out.</p>
