Recent Post coverage of Columbia University’s robust financial aid program for undergraduates includes highly inaccurate information (“Very Well Endowed,” Bill Sanderson, Oct. 14 and “Poison Ivy’s Rash of Cash,” Andrea Peyser, Oct. 17).

Columbia has virtually identical financial aid as our Ivy peers — and has for several years.

Columbia undergraduate families whose incomes are below $60,000 attend free of charge and without the need for any student loans. Columbia also provides for a significantly reduced parental contribution for those with incomes up to approximately $150,000.

Indeed, Columbia actually has the most economically diverse undergraduate student population among Ivy League schools, including the highest percentage of Pell Grant recipients whose families earn less than approximately $40,000 annually.
