Washington & Lee - free tuition, family income < $75,000

Ucb, I would expect the NPC reflects the new policy already since families are already using it in planning for fall 2014. Or am I misunderstanding where you are getting the numbers for the “old” finaid policy?

<p>New or old (whether or not it is changed), W&L’s NPC indicates that there is no special discontinuity in financial aid at $75,000 family income that would exist if the new policy were overlaid on top of a previously less generous policy that resulted in grants less than tuition at $75,000 family income.</p>

<p>Actually, it is not that hard to see – a “meets full need” school will probably produce a low enough EFC at $75,000 family income that even after adding a typical ESC, the net price (EFC + ESC) will be lower than typical non-tuition cost of attendance. Hence, the grants will be tuition or more.</p>
