对大多数父母来说,支付大学学费并不容易;但有些学校为学生提供足够的助学金来抵消昂贵的费用。
报告中满足学生所有财政需要的的学校大多是私立学院和大学。根据美国新闻2015学年调查的数据显示,在1100所学校中,只有66所学校声称满足了学生全面学费需求。
助学金的金额通常由家庭提供的申请联邦学生援助的资料决定。FAFSA申请表里,从学生家庭提供的收入,税务数据,资产和家庭人数等财务信息上来判断家庭的的财政情况。
高校结合贷款,奖学金,补助金和工作学习机会,以弥补大学总成本与家庭预期支付金额之间的差距。
在满足了学生全面财政需求方面,文科院校占绝大多数,一共有40所学校,其次是25所公立大学。只有一所区域大学在华盛顿的Walla Walla University 在列表内。
在这一名单上超过一半的学校实行盲选录取政策:即只通过评估学生的优秀度决定是否录取,而不考虑是否可以支付学费的能力。这包括马萨诸塞州的阿默斯特学院,康涅狄格州的耶鲁大学和加州的斯坦福大学等等。
只有两所公立大学,弗吉尼亚大学和北卡罗莱纳州教堂山大学提供全额助学金。
还有没有出现在名单上的几所学校也非常接近提供全额助学金,包括马州约翰霍普金斯大学为99.9%,SUNY理工学院为99%,佛罗里达大学为99%。
以下是声称在2015年秋季课程中满足本科全日制毕业生100%的财政需要的大学和学院名单。
