Does everyone who is admitted and eligible for aid receive a package?
No, not everyone. To receive a financial aid package, you must be accepted for admission, have a complete financial aid application on file by the appropriate deadline, and have a demonstrated financial need. Students whose applications are incomplete beyond the deadline are eligible only for a job and loan assistance. Many applicants demonstrating a financial need of $7,400 or less receive packages comprising a $2,000 grant, a $3,500 loan and/or a $1,900 campus job. Additional demonstrated financial need is met through federal, state, and/or Skidmore College grant aid. Usually, 85% of accepted students with a demonstrated need in excess of $7,400 receive grant assistance to meet that need. Also, usually, 15% of accepted students with a demonstrated need in excess of $7,400 receive partial grant assistance and $2,000 to $4,000 parent loan recommendations to meet their need. The remaining students were offered admission but were placed on a waiting list for grant aid.
