Financial Aid at the College

According to Locke, money is “some lasting thing that men might keep without spoiling, and that, by mutual consent, men would take in exchange for the truly useful but perishable supports of life” (386). The Admissions Office at the College believes that money is certainly something that can be exchanged for a “support of life” like an education. We are need-blind; this means that when you submit an application, financial aid requests are not submitted until after a decision has been made. Money is only valuable due to the consent of men, whereas labor makes in great part the measure (397). The opportunity to attend this university will not be based on something qualified by the consent of the general public – we look for the best and brightest students regardless of financial status.
