Meets full demonstrated need

A promise that once a student is admitted, the school covers all of the financial need it has calculated for that family.

Why it matters

It is separate from need-blind: a school can do one, both or neither. A school may meet full need for admitted international students while admitting few who need aid.

Who decides

Each school decides whether it makes this promise.
