Financial Aid ConcernsStudents also raised concerns about financial aid, particularly regarding the remaining cost of attendance not covered by financial aid, including tuition, housing and other expenses. This is because funds procured outside of University aid are subtracted from the amount of financial assistance the University provides. The University operates under a need-based financial aid model, in which aid is calculated based on a student’s demonstrated financial need.
