Financial Aid and Affording College

The college search is already stressful for students and families. This year it’s even more difficult. So Amherst, Bowdoin, Carleton, Pomona, Swarthmore, and Williams are putting our own competition aside, and hosting a series of virtual events for students, families, and counselors.

Is there a difference between a grant and a scholarship? What’s need-based aid? We’ll cover the basics, untangle the jargon, and talk about supporting students—through pandemics, and whatever else comes up.
