Daughter was admitted to Tufts last year, while it was a very attractive financial aid package that did meet our demonstrated need. After subtrracting our EFC, and the amount of money she need ed from summer earnings (Abour $2500) there were loans, work study along a sizeable scholarhip. The need was fully met but, she got better offers from Williams, Bryn Mawr, and Dartmouth.

There is really no such thing as a ful ride because even if your family has an EFC of “0” (which would most likely be public assistance) Your package is going to include a

student contrubution (money earned from working over the summer before you get there)

Student loans
Work Study
Grants/Scholarships

One of my duahter’s friends was a Posse scholar at Hamilton (it was a full tuition scholarship, did not include, room board misc)
