Where We ve Been The Ghost of Packaging Past
The Basics A Look at Packaging The Big Picture In a perfect world we would only have a single page telling a student how much financial aid they received. Kind of like a Scholarship Letter. However, in the real world financial aid comes from many sources and comes with different conditions and eligibility.

The Basics A Look at Packaging The Big Picture Unfortunate Fact: Students need more money than we have to give. We must Determine to whom we give money. The choices we make are based on a Philosophy They way we do it is our Packaging Policy. 5
The Basics A Look at Packaging The Big Picture We actually have multiple distinct Packaging Policies Resident Undergrad Non-Resident Undergrad Vet Med Pharm D Grad Students 6
The Basics A Look at Packaging The Big Picture In the past we have based all of our packaging decisions on results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Policies that are strictly derived from complex Formulae Using an Expected Family Contribution The problem is you have no idea what that is until after you do the form. 7
The Basics Five years ago, we broke our Undergrad Resident and Non-Resident policies apart. They had been very similar. We changed the Non-resident, but have only tweaked the Resident. The Resident had levels of awards based on EFC. This made it very difficult for a family to understand or predict A Look at Packaging The Big Picture EQ BAND Resident - NEW AND RETURNING EFC RANGE Category 9 or more hours 6-8 hours EQ BAND 0 0 All Class Lev $1,500 $750 0 1 1-500 All Class Lev $2,000 $1,000 1 2 501-1000 All Class Lev $3,100 $1,550 2 3 1001-1500 All Class Lev $4,150 $2,075 3 4 1501-2000 All Class Lev $5,250 $2,625 4 5 2001-2500 All Class Lev $6,300 $3,150 5 6 2501-3000 All Class Lev $5,250 $2,625 6 7 3001-4000 All Class Lev $5,050 $2,525 7 8 4001-5000 All Class Lev $5,000 $2,500 8 9 5001-6000 All Class Lev $6,000 $3,000 9 10 6001-7000 All Class Lev $5,000 $2,500 10 11 7001-8000 All Class Lev $4,000 $2,000 11 12 8001-9000 All Class Lev $3,000 $1,500 12 13 9001-10000 All Class Lev $2,000 $1,000 13 8
