Yes

A brief description of any policies and programs to minimize the cost of attendance for low-income students:
At Bucknell, we welcome financial aid applications from any students when they apply for admission, but we do not have specific financial aid funding for students who come from low-income families. We do spend time working with the students, parents and guidance counselors to educate them on our financial aid process, let them know what aid is available for those who qualify, and what they have to do in order to apply. We try to give them as much information as possible and advise them that we are here if they have further questions or need guidance during the application process.
