Are you sure your colleges give need based aid to international students? Do any of your colleges guarantee to meet full need for all international students?
-Yes, I’ve targeted those specifically.
- Tax returns are not 2019-2020. They are for the calendar year...so 2019 (when Covid wasn’t an issue) and 2020.
- Fiscal years are a bit different here, ig (July-June). So should I be applying with the 2018-19 one? 2019-20 is the most recent one I have tho.
- How much can your family pay annually? Do you have sufficiently high grades to get auto merit aid at places like University of Alabama, Arizona, University of New Mexico? With merit, would your net costs be affordable?

- They can pay a significant amount but whether they will is another question. They'll probably fork out cash if it's a "prestigious" college, otherwise...I have no idea. I do plan on applying for some merit scholarships tho (St. John's University and Clark Uni, to name a few)
