Scholarship Applicant Criteria:
To achieve equity and consistency in awarding institutional grants, Reed College uses the nationally standardized need analysis formula, Institutional Methodology (IM), developed by the College Board, to calculate your expected family contribution (EFC).
Value of Scholarship:
Reed’s financial aid package covers 100% of the demonstrated need of every admitted applicant.
Scholarship Application Guide:

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for school year 2023–24. The FAFSA determines your eligibility for federal student aid (Pell grants, Direct Loans, Federal Work Study, etc.). Reed's school code: 003217. The 2024–25 FAFSA is available beginning October 1, 2023.
Step three
