The Bates grant may be as large as received on campus, but it is generally smaller since the sum of the costs listed above is less than attending Bates. Other potential travel costs, including passport, visa, medications, non-program travel, and extra personal expenses, are not included in the Bates aid calculations. In English-speaking countries, aid calculations are based on the cost of applying directly to the university rather than through a program. This is a bit overwhelming. Relax and recognize that this is a decision that takes time to evolve.

Finally, plan on one and perhaps multiple meetings with Dean Sawyer or Mr. Das to discuss the options and find out more about the process. All Rights Reserved.
