I'm not sure I know enough to say that MOST do, but it's definitely true that many private schools give grant money. Many also give scholarship money, independent of demonstrated financial need. But there's enormous variability in the amount of grant money available/offered to students at private schools. For example, when I was applying I was offered around $20,000 in grant money from Duke, $10,000 from Penn, and about $4,000 from Pitt. At Pitt I would have had to take out private loans, but at Duke I've been able to borrow only through the subsidized government loans program (Stafford Loans, etc.). So which school you're talking about makes a HUGE difference.
