Carleton College’s new financial-aid model provides an interesting case study in how institutional funding can affect student financing.
Beginning in fall 2027, Carleton plans to remove federal and institutional loans from its financial aid packages. The replacement mix will include grants, scholarships and student employment.
The program has been supported by more than $80 million in donor commitments, while additional fundraising is planned to support its long-term operation.
From a systems perspective, the policy connects several components: institutional funding, philanthropy, student financial need, aid packaging and post-graduation debt.
It is also a useful example for anyone interested in how education institutions design programs around affordability.
