Need-blind Admissions

Need-blind admissions mean that a college or university evaluates applicants solely based on their academic and personal qualifications, without considering their financial situation. If an applicant is admitted, the school commits to providing financial aid to meet their demonstrated financial need, ensuring that financial circumstances do not influence the decision. This policy aims to promote equal opportunity, allowing students from diverse economic backgrounds to compete fairly for admission based on merit, and then receive support to afford attendance if accepted.
