international student aid - Page 3

@haru07: U of Redlands gave 10,000 to my client-student (at first nothing, but then I tried with a phone call and got it up to 10,000). This was in this particular case, I do not know what your profile is but it is well possible that Redlands gives more than 10,000 to internationals. I do not know about maximum amounts.

I have been at a californian community college for two years, which is completely affordable if your government provides some sort of tuition-based student loan on your behalf. Colleges I know for sure offer SOME, note, SOME kind of aid for international transfer students are Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Dartmouth. Colleges that offer substantial aid and are less selective include Oberlin and Colby college. As an international student, you need to really look at ALL colleges that interest you academically then contact their financial aid departments to look into what they could offer you.

has anyone here heard about Fulbright?..
I applied to 7 colleges through this entity and 4 colleges already accepted me with merit and need-based aid (11-17k per year).
If u have any questions just send me a msg.

I'm an international student interested in doing my undergradute studies in the US. I know some schools will "consider the fact that a applicant requests for aid (ex. Stanford)" while others "are need-based and will not consider the fact that a applicant requests for aid (ex. Princeton says they will give aid to all students need-based [according to the school pamphlet])".

So,,, is it actually possible for a students to request financial aid at one school, and not request any aid at another school?? (Please excuse me if this is not good question---but kindly tell me why.) Thank You.

yes, light_paddle, that is possible, I did not apply for aid at Barnard, where I knew aid would make the admissions very cut throat.

light_paddle · 03-13-2007, 09:51 AM

happyjanezhang : Thank you. But even if we use the same applications (like common app), is it able to apply for some and not apply for others? I mean, could the colleges possibly find out that we're doing this?

happyjanezhang · 03-14-2007, 04:53 AM

the fin. aid apps are done differently( some schools ask you to fill out their own forms), and schools do not check this, so long as you can prove to the colleges you do NOT apply for aid that you can pay for 4 years.

anyone knows about financial aid at cornell for canadian students? I heard its very stingy. My parents make about $80000 canadian before tax; we have a house but still have to pay for mortgage; im an only child; we have two cars, both of which are at least 7 years old, basically your average middle-income family. How much money am I expected to pay? Anyone has experience with this matter?

@Andriuxs:

You must mean the Fulbright Center (or AMIDEAST in the Middle East) which is US Government sponsored information center for study in the US. They also take care of exchange programs with the US like Fulbright Scholarship Program (graduate) or Campus Scholarship Program (undergraduate).
At what country are you located? And what exactly did Fulbright help you with? The whole selection and application process? What schools did you get in?

Hello everyone! I have a question. I'm an international student who will apply this year to get into college in the USA and these are the colleges I picked. Do you think I have chances of getting financial aid? My parents make $4500 a year so I pretty much don't have any chance if I don't get financial aid

Roberts Wesleyan College
State University of New York at Buffalo
State University of New York College at Plattsburgh
State University of New York College at Potsdam
City University of New York: Brooklyn College
City University of New York: City College
Missouri Southern State University
Southeastern Louisiana University
Northwestern State University
Yale University
Mohawk Valley Community College

Thank you!

hey could you guys suggest me some schools that not only give a lot of financial aid for international students but also are good at business(like accounting or finance)

bhekumusa · 05-15-2007, 02:30 AM

how do i apply for the financial aid

BlankAudio · 05-18-2007, 04:48 AM

I need some clarifications on exactly what international financial aid is avaliable.

Stanford does not offer aid?

Do your chances of getting in get reduced if you apply for international aid?

Do the following Uni's offer aid?

Harvard, MIT, Princeton, U penn, Stanford

If so, can anyone tell me what the max amount they will offer is, or what they cover?

E.g. all tuition and board. 50% of tuition...etc.

trans_int007 · 05-23-2007, 12:50 AM

ok guys since i applied this year, i know for a fact about which colleges give aid and which do not....
the following colleges will meet 100% of your need if you are accepted
A)National Universities:
Harvard(need blind to internationals meaning ur financial situation will have no effect in the admission commitee's decision)
Princeton(need blind to internationals)
Yale(need blind to internationals)
Columbia University:Fu Foundation(engineering school)
Columbia University:Columbia College
Brown
Dartmouth
UPenn
Cornell
mit
georgetown(not sure, research it)
tufts
brandeis
lehigh(doesn't give that much)
georgewashington university(not sure, research into it)
Duke
UChicago
Cooper Union (will give full tuition to all accepted,including internationals-so if you can afford $10,000 its worth applying)

B)LAC
williams(need blind to internationals)
amherst
swarthmore
midllebury(need blind to internationals)
bates
bowdoin
colby
haverford
wesleyan
vassar
colgate
hamilton
washington and lee
bucknell
trintity college
lafayette
bard
union
dickinson
franklin and marshall
sarah lawrence
gettysburg
skidmore
wheaton
st.lawrence
carleton, reed, macalester, oberlin, kenyon, colorado,whitman, connecticut, grinnell,occidental,lawrence(doesn't give much)

.......for us internationals with not so stellar stats, the place you apply ED will make all the difference...so choose your ED college very carefully.... ED1 is even better since the admission commitee can't compare you with candidates from the regular decision pool......

if you have any questions feel free to pm me....again choose your ED college properly...i can suggest you if you pm me....

have a great day

trans_int007 · 05-23-2007, 12:52 AM
