Financial Aid
During the first phase of the selection process, admission officers read each application in a 鈥渘eed-blind鈥 review that does not consider a candidate鈥檚 ability to pay as a factor in their evaluations. However, the final phase of the selection process is 鈥渘eed-aware,鈥 as the admission committee weighs its decisions against available financial aid funds. 91探花 strives to meet 100 percent of the demonstrated need of each candidate offered admission. Please see the Financial Aid portion of our website for more information.
