International Students

<p>Which colleges provide (almost) full ride or very generous aid like 90% of the cost of attendence?</p>

<p>Please let me know if any college provides full-aid to like 10 internationals out of 600 per year. I know the competition is very high but I am prepared to go for it.</p>

<p>There are colleges like
College A:
Provides aid to internationals.
Tends to admit 100 internationals with $14000 aid each per year.</p>

<p>College B:
Provides aid to internationals.
Tends to admit 15 students and award $60,000 (full-ride) aid each per year.</p>

<p>I am.looking for colleges like College B. </p>

<p>Your classification of colleges is quite wrong. There are 4 types of colleges (in terms of Fin Aid)
Type 1 (NB NB)

  • These schools are need blind in admissions and provide need based aid when accepted. At Present, there are only 6 schools of Type 1: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, MIT, and Amherst.</p>

<p>Type 2 (NA NB)

  • These schools are need aware in admissions but if they admit you, they’ll cover the whole “need” with need based aid. The aid can include some loans and employment. Most top schools (USNWR ranking below 50) come under this category.</p>

<p>Type 3 (NA MEFC)

  • These schools are need aware in admissions and even after they admit you, they expect a minimum amount to be contributed by you regardless of your need. Denison University and Union College are fine examples. The aforementioned schools expect student to contribute 1/3rd tuition, room, & board and $7500 respectively irrespective of your “need”. In short they will meet your need but only upto the minimum EFC point. Other examples are Lawrence University and Skidmore College.</p>

<p>Type 4 (F<em>You)

  • These colleges have F</em>You written on the “international financial aid” section of their websites. They don’t give any sort of aid and the student is expected to cover full freight. Most public schools and really shi-tty private ones are under this category. They generally have a low USNWR rankings, so don’t even bother with them.</p>

<p>The types of schools you mentioned have a separate category of their own. They give merit aid, and it has nothing to do with need. At those schools, your scholarship can be anything (ranging from a few thousand dollars to full ride plus books and laptop). </p>
