Estimated financial contribution, I think.

Fafsa gives an estimate of how much money your family can afford to pay each year - schools who give need-based aid will help for paying the rest beyond that amount. Of course, just because your family can afford it doesn’t mean they can afford it comfortably…

Re: Zuma - you said that one has to work hard to keep their GPA above a 3.1/3.2 at Brandeis. Is it actually that difficult? Is there any grade inflation at Brandeis? People have made references to the academics here as being rigorous, but to what degree? Would you say it’s merely challenging or extremely difficult to keep one’s GPA high enough for the contingent scholarship?
