<p>“you can expect them to meet 100% need through a grant” is technically false. </p>
<p>You can expect them to meet 100% of demonstrated need without loans. Financial aid packages do include work-study. The statistic that is advertised is that on average, for all undergraduates as a whole, grant aid: work study ratio was 97-3.</p>
<p>The work-study is for about 2000-3000 dollars, depending on your year (I believe the work study contribution us supposed to increase slightly as you go from freshman to sophomore to junior etc. - though I could be wrong). </p>
