need-blind
Ignoring applicants' finances
Need-blind describes an admissions policy where a school evaluates applicants without considering their ability to pay tuition.
The institution commits to admitting students based solely on merit, then assembling financial aid packages afterward: Harvard has a need-blind admissions policy.
The practice is most common at wealthy universities that can afford to meet admitted students' full demonstrated need.
