Need-blind admission
Need-blind admission in the United States refers to a college admission policy that does not take into account an applicant's financial status when deciding whether to accept them. This approach typically results in a higher percentage of accepted students who require financial assistance and often necessitates that the institution has a substantial endowment or other funding sources to support the policy. Institutions which participated in an antitrust exemption granted by Congress were required by law to be need-blind, a requirement which remained in effect until September 30, 2022.[1] An institution may be need-blind in any given year by policy (de jure) or by circumstances (de facto).
Many colleges and universities cannot provide enough financial aid to cover the full demonstrated financial need of all admitted students. Some institutions are not need-blind, while others may practice need-blind admissions but cannot provide sufficient aid. Additionally, some schools that do not consider financial need for domestic first-year students may not extend the same policy to international or transfer students. Schools that are need-blind and meet full need for all applicants tend to be highly selective due to the large number of applications they receive.
Each institution has its own definition of meeting the full demonstrated need, and there is no universal standard. Some schools meet this need through grants and/or merit or talent scholarships alone, while others may also include loans and work-study programs. As a result, a student's financial aid package can differ greatly between schools that claim to meet full demonstrated need.
U.S. institutions that are need-blind and meet full demonstrated need for both U.S. and international students
There are currently seven U.S. higher education institutions that are need-blind towards all applicants. These institutions meet full demonstrated need for all applicants, including international students.[2] These are:
- Amherst College[3]
- Bowdoin College[4]
- Brown University[5] (Brown will be need-blind for international students beginning with the Class of 2029.)
- Dartmouth College[6]
- Harvard University[7]
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology[8]
- Princeton University[9]
- Yale University[10]
U.S. institutions that are need-blind for U.S. applicants and meet full demonstrated need for certain or all students
A number of U.S. institutions of higher learning both offer need-blind admissions, and meet the full demonstrated need for all students, but are need-aware when it comes to international student admissions. However, all admitted students will have their demonstrated need met, although in some colleges, primarily public colleges, such aid may only be offered for students who either require financial aid or are under specific geographical demographics. For instance, College of William & Mary and University of Michigan are public research universities that meet the full need of qualifying in-state students (residents of Virginia and Michigan, respectively) but don't meet the full need of out-of-state or international students. The following schools fall into this category:
- Antioch College (only students who qualify for the Pell Grant have the full need met)[11]
- Babson College (need-blind for Canadian students as well)[12]
- Barnard College (need-aware for transfer students)[13]

- Boston College[15]
- Bowdoin College (need-aware for transfer students)[16]
- California Institute of Technology[17]

- Grinnell College[32]

U.S. institutions that are not need-blind for U.S. applicants and meet full demonstrated need for certain or all students
Many reputable institutions that once championed need-blind policies have modified their policies due to rising costs as well as subpar endowment returns. Such institutions include prestigious colleges that do not offer merit-based aid but promise to meet 100% of financial need (mostly through grants). These stated institutions refer to themselves as "need-aware" or "need-sensitive," with policies that detract from their ability to admit and educate all qualified candidates but allow them to meet the full need of all admitted students who qualify for financial aid (many institutions extend this policy to all students).[69]
For instance, at Macalester College, Mount Holyoke College and Smith College, at least 95% of students are admitted without financial need being a factor, but a slim percentage, generally students who are waitlisted or who have borderline qualifications, are reviewed in consideration of the college's projected financial resources. All three colleges grant all admitted students financial aid packages meeting 100% of need.[70] At Wesleyan University, attempted shifts to a "need-aware" admission policy have resulted in protests by the school's student body.[71]
Some institutions only meet the full need for students who are domestic US residents and/or are eligible for US federal financial aid, as proven by the applicant's FAFSA and CSS profile. A few only meet the full need of students under specific demographics who are considered "economically disadvantaged" and may not be guaranteed to meet the full need of other students. Do note that some colleges don't state their financial aid admissions policy, so they're sorted into the need-aware category. The following schools fall into this category:
- Alma College (Detroit high school students only)[72]
- American University (may not meet full need for transfer students)[73]
- Aquinas College (3.4 GPA and an SAT score of 1100 or ACT equivalent or higher required)[74]

High schools
As of 2020, Phillips Academy, St. Albans School, St. Andrew's School and Wayland Academy[116][117] are the only American boarding high schools that have clearly stated need-blind admission policies and meet the full demonstrated need of their admitted students. Phillips Exeter Academy was "effectively need-blind" prior to the 2009 admission season but stopped the practice because of economic pressures. Roxbury Latin School, a day school in the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, is also need-blind.[118]
