As promised, below is information on schools with no-loan financial aid policies.
(information from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_aid#Need-based)

No loan financial aid
In 2001, Princeton University became the first university in the United States to eliminate all loans from its financial aid packages. Since then, many other schools have followed in eliminating some or all loans from their financial aid programs. Many of these programs are aimed at students whose parents earn less than a certain income — the figures vary by college or university. These new initiatives were designed to attract more students and applicants from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, reduce student debt loads, and provide the offering institutions with an advantage over their rivals in attracting commitments from accepted students. As of March 25, 2008, the list of colleges and universities offering such no-loan financial aid packages includes the following:
