A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
Olin considers itself pretty supportive of high-need low-income students. All students receive the Olin Tuition Scholarship, which covers half of their tuition for 8 semesters. In addition to this scholarship, Olin also meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for US citizens and permanent residents as demonstrated through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Olin’s admission process is both holistic (meaning that we consider a variety of factors when making admission decisions rather than relying solely on grades and test scores) and need-blind (meaning that we do not take students’ financial need into consideration when making admission decisions).
