Financial aid consideration (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

need

'financial aid consideration' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for need that I've seen before include "privation" , "Require (as essential)" , "Cry out for - prerequisite" , "Necessity" , "Desideratum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Newsday.com and the Universal.
