Determination of Need

The Office of Financial Aid uses the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to calculate the funds that can be expected from a family to meet educational costs at any college in the U.S. This expected family contribution is subtracted from an established budget at Baker to determine financial need. Federal and state regulations prohibit students from receiving need-based aid in excess of their calculated financial need. Recipients of federal or state grants, loans, or campus work must be U.S. Citizens or eligible non-citizens.
