You are applying to undergraduate degree programs?

I have never heard of a college paying for the visit of an international student, much less international financial aid recipients. (If the cost of a visit is prohibitive, I assume you’re not in a position to pay 4 x $60,000?) With admission rates for international students being as low as 2%, there’s plenty of other students waiting in line if you don’t want the spot that you are offered.

Graduate programs, on the other hand, might subsidize a visit. Several of my PhD programs offered me $300 towards the cost of airfare and a room for 1-2 nights.
