Yes, they really should. Uva isn’t the only public school offering good financial aid offers to poor students. </p>
<p>Perhaps you should look at the following:</p>
<p>Michigan state university: [Spartan</a> Advantage Program | Office of Financial Aid | Michigan State University](<a href=“http://finaid.msu.edu/spad.asp]Spartan”>Spartan Advantage | Michigan State University) Offers loan-free options for individuals with income 150% above the povery line.</p>
<p>Arizona state: [ASU</a> Advantage - Student Financial Assistance Office](<a href=“http://www.asu.edu/fa/advantage/]ASU”>http://www.asu.edu/fa/advantage/) covers all expenses with a no-loan option for arizona residents</p>
<p>UNC chapel Hill: offers the same financial aid option as UVA, regardless of state residency: [Carolina</a> Covenant](<a href=“http://www.unc.edu/carolinacovenant/]Carolina”>http://www.unc.edu/carolinacovenant/)</p>
<p>University of Illinois- Urbana: [University</a> of Illinois Financial Aid: Types of Aid](<a href=“http://www.osfa.uiuc.edu/aid/promise.html]University”>http://www.osfa.uiuc.edu/aid/promise.html) another no-loan option for Illinois residents.</p>
<p>University of Maryland- College Park: [Interpretations</a>, TERP Magazine Winter 2005](<a href=“http://www.terp.umd.edu/2.2/interpretations/]Interpretations”>http://www.terp.umd.edu/2.2/interpretations/) No-loan for low income maryland residents.</p>
<p>I just debunked your whole theory. None of these schools have Harvard’s endowment.</p>
<p>In fact, these schools have a smaller endowment than Vanderbilt, yet they can still offer the no-loan option. Why cant Vanderbilt?</p>
<p>I can go on and on with the public schools that offer this option. So again, i would like to ask, when will Vanderbilt step up?</p>
