Which universities give out the most scholarships?

Trying to figure out which universities are the most generous with scholarships in general. Does anyone have any recommendations for schools that are known for offering a lot of financial aid or scholarships?

A couple of universities come to mind that are particularly generous with scholarships and aid.

Private universities with large endowments often offer a lot of aid. For instance, check out universities like Harvard, Stanford, or Princeton. These schools boast robust financial aid programs due to their large endowments. For example, Princeton provides scholarships covering 100% of demonstrated need and it doesn't give out loans as part of its financial aid package.

Also, look at schools known for merit scholarships like the University of Southern California (USC) and Boston University (BU). Both these schools offer extensive merit scholarship programs for their incoming students.

Tulane University is another school renowned for offering merit scholarships. Tulane provides both partial and full tuition scholarships.

Lastly, you'll find schools like Loyola University Chicago, which has a commitment to assisting students and their families in finding reasonable ways to finance education. They provide a comprehensive aid program that includes institutional, federal, state, and private funds.

However, always keep in mind that the net cost of attendance is the most important factor - some schools offer a lot of scholarships, but their high sticker price might still make them more expensive than state schools or schools with lower sticker prices. Use each school's net price calculator to estimate your aid package and net cost before deciding whether a school is affordable for you.
