尋找有錢的美國大學
2016年畢業的美國高中生申請大學的高潮在即。在美國上大學,一件頭大的事情就是大學學費問題。
大學學費來源,除了家長自掏腰包外,無非一是申請政府助學金,二是申請低息的學生貸款,三是利用學校里的勤工儉學來補貼,四是靠孩子們在寒暑假裡打工賺些零花錢。
還有第5條路:申請時尋找那些財力雄厚的學校。許多學校發助學金,是need-based,說白了就是“按需分配”。前提是申請入學的學生只要達到學校的入學標準(入學標準如何,則是另一篇大文章了);如果你家庭財力不逮,那麼給你錢沒商量。至於給多給少,那又是另一篇文章了。
好在美國的統計工作做得很地道。輕鬆上網一搜,就有了。

這個表格把800多所大學(主要是美國)按照2014年錢庫(稱endowment)里的數目從多到少排列。
有92所大學的錢庫里多於10億美元。其中美國大學89所,加拿大3所。當中不乏一些有名的公立大學。
以下是這92所大學的分州排列。
註:
看了學校的錢數,還要看學生的數目。錢雖多,如果學生也多,分到每人名下就沒有多少了。
每個學校名稱前的數字是錢庫數目的排名次序。
