I'm a junior at a public high school in PA researching undergraduate engineering programs. I like Drexel's co-op program, but does the income earned from the co-op might negatively affect the financial aid package during the time that I'm attending Drexel? Let's say I apply as a freshman, the tuition is $50,000, and I receive $20,000 in scholarships and grants. Then as a sophomore, I spend a semester in a co-op program and earn $10,000. Does that extra income decrease my scholarship and grant money maybe by $10,000? So I'm still spending $30,000 per year, but for five years instead of the traditional four years because of the time spent in co-ops?
