Bates offers only need-based aid. They don't discriminate against international students with regards to aid. I find that people from families that make less than $30,000/year often get very good aid. The majority of the internationals I know have full rides. I had a mixed experience with aid. While I got the majority of costs covered, I still had to pay more than I felt I had the ability to pay, which mean I had to take out loans. My family income exceeds $100,000/year but due to a variety of circumstances, my parents weren't able to contribute according to their incomes. That said, there are also a fair share of people (Americans and internationals) who are made of money and don't get aid.
