Grinnell one of few need-blind schools in United States

Just 46 colleges say they meet the full financial needs of all of their students with aid and admit students solely on qualifications, without considering how much aid the student needs. There are some caveats: Each of these schools calculates an applicant's need for financial aid differently. In addition, these schools typically apply these generous policies only to U.S. citizens who are admitted by April 15. (Many of these schools reject or offer less aid to all but the most outstanding needy international and wait-listed applicants.)
