Besides the 2 other medical schools mentioned in the article, what other universities have similar scholarships?
- RationPhantoms 2y agoMost ivy leagues have a minimum family salary threshold for charging tuition; Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc.
- cbsks 2y agoLooks like Yale is 75k https://finaid.yale.edu/costs-affordability/affordability https://finaid.yale.edu/costs-affordability/affordability. Harvard is 85k, but students still need a job https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works Stanford is 100k, but students still need a job https://financialaid.stanford.edu/pdf/AW-Finances-Presentation-2024.pdf https://financialaid.stanford.edu/pdf/AW-Finances-Presentati... Seems like those universities, with their huge endowments, could be doing more..
- shitlord 2y agoAren't these students the ideal borrowers for student loans? The endowment can likely be invested elsewhere for greater profit.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoTrue for most every school not just ivys
- cbsks 2y agoMaybe private universities, but certainly not the public university I went to. People with low incomes financed their education with loans, not scholarships.
- wil421 2y agoThe only other option is Pell for federal aid. Luckily my state used to offer 100% tuition for B/3.0+ students. They still offer up to 100% with 2 scholarships but the main scholarship is not 100% anymore. It’s funded by the lottery. Either way it doesn’t include room and board. A job is necessary to live but not for the scholarship.
- bastawhiz 2y agoMan, if only this was true!
- linearrust 2y agoStanford isn't an ivy league school.
