Thirty-seven percent of undergraduates are eligible for need-based aid, with an average need-based aid package of $57,600. Plus, all first-year applicants who apply by December 1st are considered for merit-based aid, including full tuition, housing, and food scholarships and a variety of interest-based programs.
