A breakdown of the changes to cost and financial aid this academic year

A breakdown of the changes to cost and financial aid this academic year

Annie Lu and Nicky Wu July 8, 2020
The College announced last week that it will decrease the cost of tuition by 15 percent this coming academic year, waive the work-study contribution and provide a personal allowance to all students on financial aid for the upcoming academic year. The first to do so among peer institutions, the College announced these changes as students and families across the country have questioned and have even brought lawsuits against universities, arguing for decreased tuition for a partially or completely online education amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
