How Ivy League Students Afford Their Dream Schools: Real Stories Behind the Numbers
When my cousin was accepted into an Ivy League school, our family was thrilled—but also anxious about the cost. We quickly learned that most Ivy students rely on a mix of scholarships, need-based financial aid, work-study jobs, and sometimes even part-time gigs to make it work. For many, the financial aid packages are surprisingly generous, especially for families with moderate incomes. My cousin spent countless nights filling out forms and writing essays for scholarships, and her hard work paid off. It’s a journey filled with hope, stress, and a lot of determination. If you or your child are dreaming of an Ivy League education, know that there are paths to make it possible, even if the sticker price seems daunting.
