经济援助是如何运作的?

You don’t necessarily have to be in a low-income category to qualify for financial aid. Some students receive aid based on special achievements while others receive aid based on demonstrated need. Need is the difference between what it costs to attend college and what a student is expected to contribute.

Educational cost - Expected family contribution = Eligibility for need-based financial aid

预期家庭贡献

The expected family contribution is a combined total of the parent and student contributions determined by the Federal Government. The family contribution will be calculated when you submit the Free 应用程序 for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processor.
