A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
Northwestern has a need-blind admissions policy, meaning that students are only admitted to NU based on their merit, without taking into consideration their financial need. As a result, students of all backgrounds, including low-income, are accepted to Northwestern if they meet academic qualifications. Northwestern has also been drastically increasing the amount of aid it offers to incoming students. These initiatives allow us to support low-income students and maximize the financial assistance we grant them, including Pell Grants.
