A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
Bowdoin's admissions process is need-blind and test-optional. The College waives the $65 application fee for all students who are first generation and/or applying for financial aid. Bowdoin's financial aid packages for accepted students do not include loans and meet 100 percent of demonstrated need with a small work award and the remainder in grant assistance. In addition, Bowdoin has a first-year student employment program to place students in on-campus jobs before their arrival in the fall.
