| If you accept offer of admission, to get a visa, (and this has to be done next month), you have to give proof of being able to pay, which makes getting a scholarship very difficult. Also, I know a lot of international kids who cannot get a scholarship because they cannot demonstrate need. It kind of makes no sense to me because in essence I have almost no savings or assests, but I have to prove that I can pay by April 15th.
If I recall, household income is definitely on the form. Maybe I'm missing something but I know a lot of Canadian kids who cannot get scholarships at good schools because their parents just make a little too much (and this is for grad school).
I am seeing what I can do to make this a bit easier. Apparently the $60,000 estimate sent by Northwestern is quite high, and may not cost nearly that much. |
