List of colleges with promising financial-aid policies

The website finaid.org offers a list, with details, of college financial aid policies, focusing on colleges that are enhancing their policies, largely to replace loans with grants for lower-income students.

There's always the nagging question of whether colleges that increase their financial aid packages will offset that by accepting fewer students who need financial aid. But high-end colleges are under pressure from Congress to stop hoarding so much of their wealth, and this may be a meaningful response.
