Does Colgate meet full need for accepted international students?

The title.

Yes, Colgate fully meets the demonstrated financial need of all admitted students. Here's a link to the financial aid page from the school's website:

They offer some very generous aid--but do your homework, and make sure that if you want to do any off-campus study that the aid is "portable" into the program you want--Colgate is a little stricter about this than some other schools, which I know can be a deal-breaker for some kids.

Aid carries over into all of Colgate's 22 programs for the first semester abroad. It doesn't apply to non-Colgate programs. If you take more than one semester abroad, it may not cover as much (since study abroad semesters usually cost more).

Full need is a relative term and the EFC you apply for might be quite different from what the College think you should have but this is not only for Colgate...but if you are accepted and requested FAid you will surely get some which can be as much as you think you need or quite less or anything in-between but never more than you asked for...

I'm a student at Colgate, and all of my friends on financial aid who have wanted to study abroad have had that opportunity because of the aid packages Colgate provides. While I know that the amount of need you may personally think you have can vary from the amount of aid the college of your choice determines you will receive, none of my friends receiving aid at Colgate seem to be dissatisfied with what Colgate provides. Of course they will graduate with some debt, but not an unmanageable amount. Basically, the financial aid office here made Colgate an affordable option.

It depends upon your EFC. If you're considering a full ride, it may be a little difficult, not only in Colgate's case, but everywhere.

I know they do great aid--my D was offered a terrific package. But we did discover that the $$ were not applicable to the particular abroad programs she wants to do while in college, which are NOT among the 22 Colgate programs. At other schools to which she was accepted that wasn't the case--they more or less said "tell us where you want to go, and we'll make it happen", whereas Colgate said "this is where we go, see if those choices work for you". Too bad! Up until that point it was a very appealing option. And if you love the 22 Colgate programs, you're golden!
