If you are (or someone you know is) an international student attending a college in the US with significant need-based financial aid (more than 90% of the cost of attendance) please write down the name of the school. The idea is to create a growing list of colleges that offer A LOT of aid for internationals based on personal experiences of applicants. This will help out future applicants.

I will go first:

Middlebury College (I'm a sophomore)
Lafayette College (my friend goes here)
Washington University in St. Louis (a friend of my mine also goes here)

*we all got $50,000+ in grant

People I know go to these colleges (with full or almost full ride):
Barnard, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Carleton

I've got friends at M.I.T, Brown, Amherst, Harvard, Beloit, U of Kansas, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, U of Chicago, Furman, Mount Holyoke, Fairfield and Wesleyan with FULL RIDES. Usually the top tier schools dish out a lot. Some of the smaller schools also do give full rides to internationals some times. I think it really depends on how competitive the applicant is and how much the school wants said applicant. Diversity etc... Most of these guys are top 5% material.

Do UW-M, Drexel, SUNY Buffalo, Furman and U of Kansas offer scholarships that can cover up to the full cost of attendance? :S

generally speaking, any private US News Top 20 college/university will give full rides.

after that it's on a case-by-case basis. if you are a very attractive applicant for a college, they will go out of their way to fund you.

Thanks!

For liberal arts, it's not necessarily the top 20. MHC, BMC, Macalester, and many others are full-need for internationals as well.
