Pell Recipients at liberal arts colleges?

Hi everyone! I'm eligible for a Pell Grant and looking into liberal arts colleges, but I'm trying to gauge how many students typically receive Pell Grants at these schools. Which liberal arts colleges have the most Pell recipients?

Among liberal arts colleges, some schools do have a higher percentage of Pell Grant recipients than others. For example, Berea College in Kentucky is known for having a very high percentage of Pell Grant recipients, as are other work colleges like College of the Ozarks in Missouri and Warren Wilson College in North Carolina.

Additionally, there are several liberal arts colleges in rural areas or cities with lower costs of living that have a high percentage of Pell Grant recipients. These schools are often more affordable for students from lower-income backgrounds.

However, keep in mind that the number or percentage of Pell recipients at a school isn't necessarily the best indicator of the financial commitment that a school has made to low-income students. A school may seem to have a low rate of Pell recipients because it is particularly selective or because it enrolls a larger percentage of international students, who are not eligible for Pell Grants. In any case, you should also look at the financial aid packages that these schools offer and whether they meet full demonstrated need, as these factors can make a big difference in affordability.

Remember, liberal arts colleges come in all shapes and sizes, and each one will offer a different student experience. Financial aid is only one aspect of what you'll want to consider in your college search, so take the time to research thoroughly and find the best fit for your specific interests and needs.
