These applications begin opening in Spring of Junior year.Colleges who meet 100% of demonstrated need: EFC of 0000Amherst CollegeBowdoin CollegeBrown UniversityColby CollegeColumbia UniversityDavidson CollegeHarvard UniversityMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyNorthwestern UniversityPomona CollegePrinceton UniversityStanford UniversitySwarthmore CollegeUniversity of ChicagoUniversity of PennsylvaniaUS Air Force AcademyUS Naval AcademyVanderbilt UniversityWashington and Lee UniversityWest PointYale University?Others schools use income limits when determining who qualifies for loan-free options, including:Brown UniversityDartmouth UniversityDuke UniversitySome schools are fairly generous when it comes to their overall financial aid packages, but they aren’t able to eliminate student loans entirely. Here are a few worth exploring:Boston CollegeCalifornia Institute of Technology (Caltech)Georgetown UniversityJohns Hopkins UniversityHarvey Mudd CollegeMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)University of Notre DameWake Forest UniversityLooking for opportunities is really just about getting really good at googling. I would recommend using key words such as?diversity,?first generation college student,?high school programs,?students of color?or whatever search term is relevant to the student when you do your searches, in combination with whatever interest the student shows (engineering, fine arts, journalism, international relations, business, music, etc.) ?There are so many opportunities out there. ................
