Their website says "Yes, a very limited number of aid awards are issued to international students every year. These may be partial or full scholarships based on the financial need of the students and their families." It also states that Cornell's admissions requirements and procedures are need-blind.

But I have heard from couple of international students that Cornell doesn't offer financial aid to international students.

Do any of you know if Cornell offers financial aid to transfer international students?

Thanks a lot guys!

yes, but you should know that those who recieve the aid are really few. also, it is even impossible to apply to cornell Univ for spring, if you are an international student who wants to transfer to cornell and apply for financial aid at the same time. for fall semester, it's possible, though.

Curious Kid

is the aid for cornell international transfer even more limited than the aid they offer to freshman?

my understanding is ca is international. from 2010 0n, no more special treatment.

I'm a sophomore transfer from Canada.

TRANSFER FINANCIAL AID IS TREATED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS REGULAR FINANCIAL AID.

Before fall 2010, you get need-based financial aid if you're Canadian (so as much as you need and you get treated as an American).

After fall 2010, i guess only a select few non-Americans get financial aid, which really sucks.

I have a friend who is an international freshman applicant. There is a lot of money available for international students this year - much more than ever before. Canadians are international students.
