We know affordability is a central question. That’s why Reed's Early Decision Aid Review lets you see an estimated aid package before committing to Early Decision.
In every admission round, Reed’s commitment is the same: we meet 100% of demonstrated financial need. And with the Reed Promise, families earning less than $100,000 receive free tuition or more. With Reed’s new Early Decision Aid Review, you and your family can receive an estimated need-based financial aid package by November 1—giving you clarity and confidence as you take this important step.
How It Works
- Submit a formal Early Decision Aid Review (EDAR) request.*
- By October 15, submit your Reed application for fall 2027 through the Common Application or the Coalition Application.
- By October 15, submit the required financial aid documents (CSS Profile and IDOC).
- If all deadlines are met, your aid estimate will be sent by November 1.
- If the estimate works for you, you can then switch your application to Early Decision or keep your Regular Decision Application—knowing what support you can expect from Reed.
*EDAR is currently available to U.S. citizens only.
Each year, about 95% of admitted ED students affirm their agreement and enroll at Reed, confident in both their choice and their aid.
