The group was created when current junior Alex Wark received his financial aid package, and noticed that it had been reduced by $13,000 per year. He then started a Facebook group to raise awareness of students in similar situations. In about a week, over 500 students had joined, which included not only people impacted by changed packages, but also those whose friends were affected. About 50 percent of the student body receives need-based financial aid. Burdick noted, however, that everyone who attends school here is participating in the financial aid process in some form or another. A fraction of the school’s tuition cost goes to financial aid, which goes back to students in the form of both need-based aid and merit scholarships.
