Other Schools
Some schools, such as Bard College and Albright College, have a need-blind admissions policy, but do not guarantee to meet the full demonstrated financial need of the students it admits. Still more schools, like Tufts University, are actively pursuing a need-blind admissions policy but have not yet had the resources to fully implement it (in 2009 claiming to have examined 95% of applicants need-blind).
In 2009, only two boarding high schools, Phillips Academy and St. Andrew's School, were need-blind; others stopped the policy due to the economic pressures. Roxbury Latin, a day school outside of Boston, is also need-blind.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
