Vassar Financial Aid-good or great?

Vassar doesn’t offer merit aid; however, if you demonstrate need, and are a very accomplished student (more so than the rest of V’s accepted students, that is) Vassar will meet that need through grants, instead of loans and work-study. So yeah, academic merit does play into the financing in a way, and I, for one, was very pleased to find that ALL of my need (which I never even expected to get, btw) comes in the form of a “Vassar Scholarship” that I don’t have to pay back.
