<p>If you take a look at the Cornell Financial Aid office’s hypothetical profile of a student, named Ding Park, whose parents make 117,000 dollars annually, then you will find that your statement above is inaccurate.</p>
<p>In the example (about half-way down the page) [Ding</a> Park’s parents](<a href=“http://www.finaid.cornell.edu/types-aid/financial-aid-examples]Ding”>Types of Aid | Financial Aid) make 117,000/yr and have some moderate assets. Since they are under the 120,000/yr annual income, the student loan is set at 3,000 dollars, plus a work-study of 2,000 dollars, plus a parent contribution of 29,035 dollars. This means that the Cornell FA grant in this scenario equals 34,035 dollars.</p>
<p>So, your statement – that Cornell does not offer aid to people in your parent’s situation – is misinformed.</p>
