<p>You’re right about W&M and UVa. I read in an article a couple days ago that less than 10% of UVa and William & Mary students are economically eligible for Pell Grants. Why? It’s because 58% of UVa students come from families w/ yearly incomes between $100K-$199K, while 21% have family incomes over $200K/year. (I don’t know W&M’s figures.)</p>
<p>To encourage more economic diversity, UVa is trying to attract more poor and middle class students through AccessUVA.</p>
