Please know that the members of the Admission and Financial Aid Office do everything in their power to ensure that students are provided with financial aid packages that reflect the very best that Richmond is able to put together. We are one of less than 50 colleges/universities nationwide that is both need-blind (we do not assess whether your family can pay while making your admission decision) and guarantees to meet 100% of demonstrated need for domestic students (based on the FAFSA). Need-based aid packages are put together by our Fin Aid department and are based, in large part, on the FAFSA and your family’s expected family contribution (EFC). Unfortunately, this is the process our government has provided institutions of higher education.

Richmond has a very limited pool of resources for international students. This upsets me and many of my colleagues; however, until the powers that be are able to allot additional resources this is not likely to change.

Please look to outside resources for additional aid. You might try fastweb.com or perhaps your parents’ employer… Your guidance counselors are also great resources.
