Most families with incomes up to $250,000 qualify for significant financial aid. Even families with incomes exceeding that amount may qualify, especially when there are multiple children in college at the same time.
For families from Baltimore City or Washington, DC, learn about the Cummings Scholars program.
How we determine your costs
While annual income is an important factor in determining your financial aid offer, it’s not the only factor we consider. We look at your family’s overall financial picture, including income, savings, and other assets, when reviewing your financial aid application.
Our income-based aid tiers apply to families with typical assets, generally less than three times their annual income. Most families fall within this range.
We never expect you to use retirement savings to pay for college and do not consider those funds when determining financial aid.
If your family’s assets are significantly higher than typical for your income level, it may impact your financial aid offer.
