Dean Case on financial aid

Dean Joe Paul Case, head of financial aid at the College, is quoted in today’s New York Times in an article titled “Financial Aid Rules for College Change, and Families Pay More.”

Dean Case, who has been at Amherst since 1981, helped work with the federal government to calculate the formula that determines how many of the nation’s students qualify for financial aid. When asked about the results of recent changes, Case replied, “This is not what we intended. There is certainly more duress than we had in mind.”

Case is one of a number of college and university admissions and financial aid officers interviewed about the changes in eligibility based on economic predictions and other factors. As a result of these changes, fewer students will qualify for financial aid in the coming year than did in previous years.
