“公平和包容是布林莫尔使命的明确组成部分，这些额外的经济援助投资有助于有经济需求的学生更容易接受布林莫尔教育。,” says Bryn Mawr President Kim Cassidy. “优先考虑以需求为基础的财政援助，以建立学院的预算，以及我们捐助者的慷慨，使学院能够迈出这一关键一步，实现我们卓越和准入的使命.” 

The policy change will impact two groups of students: 

• Students with a total family income of less than $110,000 and total family assets of less than $500,000. 对于这些学生, 100%的证明需求, as calculated by the student’s financial aid application, will be met with grant and work-study. Starting in the Fall 2024 semester, loans will no longer be used to meet need. 
• For students with total family income above $110,000 who receive need-based institutional aid and with total family assets of less than $500,000, these students will receive an additional $4,从学院助学金，以帮助抵消或消除部分贷款义务，以支付他们的大学费用. While these students will still see a loan in their financial aid offer*, part of this loan will help cover their calculated Student Aid Index (SAI), instead of meeting their need. 

*根据联邦法规, the Office of 金融援助 will continue to notify students of their loan eligibility. 

总收入包括学生家庭(或父母分居/离婚的家庭)在经济援助申请中报告的已纳税和未纳税收入.

Total assets include money in cash, 储蓄, and checking accounts; the value of businesses or farms; investment farms; real estate, UGMA, UTMA accounts that the parent is the owner; stocks, 债券, 存单等. 由学生家庭(或父母分居/离婚的家庭)在经济援助申请中报告.

学生资助指数(SAI)是根据经济资助申请中所有家长家庭的收入和资产计算得出的，并受到家庭中本科生人数的影响. This can sometimes also be referred to as a measure of a family’s ability to pay. 这项政策的改变将增加助学金的金额，以满足所有符合助学金条件的学生的需要.  Students with a total family income of less than $110,000 and total family assets of less than $500,000美元的助学金将包括一笔小额贷款，以帮助支付学生资助指数(SAI)，这是由他们的助学金申请决定的. For students with total family income above $110,000 who received need-based Bryn Mawr Grant, these students will still see a loan on their financial aid offer, part of this loan will help cover their calculated SAI. 

这项政策将满足符合条件的本科生的需要，比以前的政策提供更多的助学金. 这意味着学生将有更低的自付费用和更多的经济援助. 部分学生及家庭可能仍会选择贷款资助，以协助支付家庭供款.

根据家庭收入和资产，学生获得的助学金将有所增加. 有资格获得助学金增加的学生将看到他们的自付账单减少, 但是，根据学生的整体经济援助资格，到期或退款的金额会因学生而异.

This policy should not affect the student’s ability to work, either through the Federal Work-Study program or through Campus Employment. 在有限的情况下，如果学生有其他基于需求的援助奖励，那么他们的工作奖励可能会受到影响, 比如校外奖学金, that will make their total aid greater than the cost of attendance. All outside aid will continue to be adjusted under our 正常的政策.

根据联邦法规, the Office of 金融援助 will continue to notify students of their loan eligibility. For students who will no longer have loans used to meet their need, 任何符合学生援助指数(SAI)的贷款资格都将包括在学生的经济援助计划中. As always, the student can accept or decline the loan in their student portal. 

没有资格获得Bryn Mawr助学金的学生将不会看到他们的经济援助资格发生变化. 然而，我们鼓励美国.S. 公民和永久居民及其家属每年完成经济援助程序, as we will reassess your eligibility for Bryn Mawr Grant every year.

U.S citizens and Permanent Residents must reapply for need-based financial aid every year.
