Can an applicant for admission request a preliminary estimate of Financial Aid?
Yes. An applicant for admission may request a preliminary estimate of financial aid by submitting the CFFS, FAFSA and appropriate tax returns to the Financial Aid Office. Although financial aid cannot be awarded formally until the student has received notification of his admission to the College and has submitted all of the required forms, he may submit the financial aid forms to the Financial Aid Office any time prior to his admission with a request for an estimate of the aid that might be offered to him. Financial aid information remains confidential and is kept separate from a student’s application for admission. Admission decisions are “need-blind,” that is, they are made without consideration of a student’s or his parents’ ability to pay.
