Here is an interesting fact about Princeton, though this practice is not exclusive to Princeton only! If you are thinking about a private school for your college experience, check their financial aid page to see if they have a similar option.
MYTH BUSTER: The myth: "Princeton is too expensive for most students to attend."
The reality: The University's no-loan admission policy makes college affordable for all admitted undergraduates.
For the Class of 2016, that means an average aid award of $39,700 for the 60 percent of students on aid.

Admission to Princeton is "need-blind" for all applicants, including international students, ensuring equality of opportunity for low- and middle-income students. Princeton provides grants and campus jobs — not student loans — to meet the full demonstrated financial need.
