Emory University: Can choosing a more expensive dorm affect how much aid my student receives?
DIRECT ANSWER
A more expensive room increases the student’s billed direct cost, but families should not assume Emory will increase grant aid dollar-for-dollar.
Emory calculates aid using its cost-of-attendance and demonstrated-need framework. Residence-hall choices have different published prices, but an upgrade to a more expensive room does not itself promise additional need-based grant aid. Families should compare the actual room charge with the aid package and contact Financial Aid before relying on extra aid.
