There’s no doubt that attending one of the U.S. Ivy League colleges
provides a student with a top-notch education and adds more than a bit of cachet and elitism to one’s resume.
But does attending a “Public Ivy” do the same? (Yes, there's quite a large group of schools that are considered to be “Public Ivies.”)

Which Colleges Rank High on the Generosity Index?
|
|
|
It’s hard to believe that the words “college” and “generous” can ever appear together in the same sentence, let alone the same thought, but they can…if you know where to look.
Our College Free Money Finder guides families to find colleges that can be more generous to their students. By entering a student’s academic information, state of residency, location preference, along with interests in the arts, sports, STEM, and nursing, families will
receive a list of colleges in order of merit or need-based generosity.
It’s amazing what you can find, if you just know where to look.
