2022年秋季财政援助政策更新常见问题解答

Increasing Bryn Mawr’s ability to provide financial aid was among the key goals of the College’s recent “Defy Expectation” fund-raising campaign. Over the 10-year campaign, the College has increased its financial aid budget by more than 50%. The overall success at the close of the campaign has allowed for a significant increase in the financial aid budget to allow for this change.

The policy change will positively impact students with a total family income of less than $60,家庭总资产低于500美元,000. 对于这些学生, 100%的证明需求, 根据学生的经济援助申请计算, 会得到补助金和勤工俭学吗. 从2022年秋季学期开始, 贷款将不再用于满足需求, 这些学生平均会得到3美元,布林莫尔奖学金资格增加500.  家庭总收入在60美元以上的学生,000人获得了基于需求的布林茅尔助学金, $2,000 of loans previously used to meet their full demonstrated need will be replaced with grant from the College.

总资产包括现金, 储蓄, and checking accounts; the value of businesses or farms; investment farms; real estate, UGMA, UTMA accounts that the parent is the owner; stocks, 债券, 存款单等. reported by a student’s family (or families in the case of separated/divorced parents) on the financial aid application.

This means the College offers students enough financial aid to cover the difference between the college’s cost of attendance and a family’s ability to pay, 或预期家庭供款, 由经济援助办公室要求的经济援助申请决定. 这一政策变化将增加用于满足的补助金数额 所有有需要的符合条件的学生的助学金.

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is calculated using the reported income and assets of all parent households on the financial aid application and is also impacted by the number of undergraduate students in the family. 这有时也被认为是衡量一个家庭支付能力的指标. 这一政策变化将增加用于满足的补助金数额 所有有需要的符合条件的学生的助学金.  家庭总收入低于60美元的学生,家庭总资产低于500美元,000 will see a small loan included in their financial aid award to help cover their expected family contribution (EFC) as determined by their financial aid application. 家庭总收入在60美元以上的学生,000人获得了基于需求的布林茅尔助学金, 这些学生仍然会在他们的经济援助申请中看到贷款, 这笔贷款的一部分将帮助支付他们计算的预期家庭供款(EFC).

This policy will meet the need of a qualified undergraduate student with more need-based grant than under our previous policy. This means that the student will have lower out-of-pocket costs and more financial aid available to them. Some students and families may still choose to borrow loan funding to assist with their family contribution.

Students will see an increase in the grant aid received depending on family income and assets. A student who is eligible for an increase in grant will see a decrease to their out-of-pocket bill, but the amount due or refund will vary student-to-student based on their overall financial aid eligibility.

这项政策不应影响学生的工作能力, 要么通过联邦勤工俭学计划，要么通过校园就业. There may be limited situations where a student’s work award can be affected if they have other need-based aid awards, 比如外部奖学金, 这将使他们获得的援助总额大于入学费用. 所有外部援助将继续根据bbin娱乐大全的 正常的政策.

U.S citizens and Permanent Residents must reapply for need-based financial aid every year. 经济援助资格可以根据收入的变化而波动, change in assets or change to the number of siblings enrolled as undergraduate students. Please remember that while we are basing your financial aid eligibility on 2020 for the 2022-2023 academic year, 在未来几年，bbin娱乐大全将要求家庭在下一个纳税年度重新申请. As financial aid eligibility is assessed every year if your family income or assets went up in 2021 or 2022 your aid eligibility will go down in future years (if all other factors remain similar).
