- Individualized Financial Support 387 orgsmethodology: individualized financial aidBy tailoring financial assistance to each student’s circumstances through grants, interest-free loans, or hybrid models, we increase access and reduce financial barriers, because a flexible approach allows for responsive support that matches varying levels of need and capacity.shared approach: Financial Barrier Reduction →
- Last-Dollar Scholarship Model 387 orgsmethodology: last-dollar scholarshipBy providing financial aid only after students have exhausted other forms of assistance, we target support to those with the greatest unmet need, because this ensures efficient use of limited funds and prioritizes equity for students who would otherwise be unable to afford post-secondary education.shared approach: Financial Barrier Reduction →
