Hi there! I'm doing some research on financial aid and I've heard about need-blind colleges. Could someone provide a list of need-blind colleges or point me in the right direction to find one? I'd really appreciate it!
Hi! Need-blind colleges are indeed an excellent resource for students who may require financial aid during their college years. A need-blind college doesn't take a student's financial situation into account when making admissions decisions, allowing for more equitable opportunities for students from various economic backgrounds.
Some well-known need-blind colleges in the United States are:
1. Harvard University
2. Yale University
3. Princeton University
4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
5. Amherst College
6. Swarthmore College
7. Williams College
Keep in mind that need-blind policies might apply differently to domestic and international applicants; some colleges may be need-blind only for U.S. citizens.
For a more comprehensive list and to compare financial aid policies, I'd recommend checking out official college websites and this CollegeVine article: For a more exhaustive list, check out this article by CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/a-guide-to-need-blind-schools-complete-list
