Sarah Lawrence College
Scholarships

Iffyy at Best...

Make sure you get it secured for all four years. I have friends who, after their freshman year, got 10k pulled off, for almost no change in status.

Fair and Rare

I honestly didn't even think I'd be able to afford college, and definitely not the most expensive college, but SLC financial aid stayed in touch with me and my family since I turned in my application about our options. In the end, I got an extremely fair financial aid package. Yes, college is expensive, but the school does everything in its power to be fair. The SLC aid package is not a scholarship completely based on merit. Rather, hey look at how much you need and do their best to assist you.

Sucks

The college touts a large average financial aid package, and there's a noticeable minority of students who have had their tuition seriously reduced thanks to aid. But not a single dollar of my need was met, and I know plenty of other students that either got no help or were greatly underserved by financial aid. At the most expensive college in the country, that is a huge barrier to entry for many qualified applicants.
