Financial Aid Myths
Fact: College is expensive. At Case, however, we consider education to be an investment that everyone should be able to afford. In fact, with our comprehensive financial award packages, Case ranks 25th among best value schools in U.S.News & World Report’s America’s Best Colleges 2009.
Here are some financial aid myths to avoid when applying and choosing your best college fit:
Financial Aid = Loans
False. We offer 50 percent of our admitted students merit scholarships, which are available to all applicants, regardless of income. The majority of awards range from 40 to 80 percent of tuition. Nearly all enrolled students receive some aid that doesn’t need to be repaid, such as a federal or state grant, a scholarship or a Case grant.
Going to a state school is cheaper
Not necessarily. It’s best to keep your options open until after you apply, visit schools and receive financial aid offers. Your cost will depend on your EFC, which is the same for all schools, public and private.
