As part of its commitment to making a 魅影直播 education accessible for all, 魅影直播 is adjusting its financial aid policies to help undergraduate students graduate with lower debt.

Beginning with the fall 2022 semester, 魅影直播 will eliminate student loans for students with family incomes below $60,000 and replace these loans with institutional grants.

All need-based financial aid recipients with family incomes above $60,000 will receive grants from the College to replace $2,000 of student loans previously used to meet their full demonstrated need.

These policy changes will reduce debt for all students receiving need-based aid.

鈥淭hese changes, along with our long-standing commitment to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need, and recent reductions to students鈥 expected financial contribution through summer savings, make a 魅影直播 education more financially accessible for more families,鈥 says 魅影直播 President Kim Cassidy. 鈥淲e want all students out there who are thinking about attending 魅影直播 to know that this aid is available.鈥  President Cassidy notes that 魅影直播 is also extending this new policy to current students with need-based financial aid, 鈥渁 decision which means that these students have greater ability to focus on their studies and other aspects of life at 魅影直播.鈥

魅影直播鈥檚 Office of Financial Aid will send an email to eligible returning students within the next few days with more information. For additional questions,鈥痗ontact鈥痶he Office of Financial Aid at finaid@brynmawr.edu.

Increasing 魅影直播鈥檚 ability to provide financial aid was among the key goals of the College鈥檚 recent 鈥淒efy Expectation鈥 fund-raising campaign. Currently, 78% of 魅影直播 students receive financial aid, with an average award of $58,133.
