Colleges that profess to meet full-demonstrated financial need are schools that will close the tuition gap between what you can afford and what the Government says you can afford. For example, If Duke University has a tuition price of $30,000 and the Federal Government determines that you can contribute $15,000 but also have a financial need of $15,000. You then have a "gap" of $15,000 and this is referred to your "demonstrated" need. Most colleges and universities will attempt to meet your need but will routinely not meet your full demonstrated need (perhaps leaving you $2,500 to $10,000 short). Colleges and universities that profess to meet full demonstrated need will, in conjunction with the Federal Government, give or loan a student the entire $15,000 in financial need. This, of course, is very good for those in need of financial aid. Please research the following colleges and universities first if financial aid will be a component of your application process.
