<p>Does Cornell offer need-blind, 100% financial aid for Canadian citizens? Are we considered International Applicants? Is it competitive?</p>
<p>Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions</p>
<p>Q: Is financial aid offered to international students?</p>
<p>A: Yes, a very limited number of aid awards are issued to international students every year. These may be partial or full scholarships based on the financial need of the students and their families. To apply for international financial aid, you should submit the International Financial Aid Application by January 2, to the Application Processing Center, East Hill Plaza, 349 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca, NY 14850-2899. Do not send forms to the financial aid office. International financial aid decisions are determined after admissions decisions are made. Criteria include academic excellence, geographic diversity, and potential for campus participation and/or leadership. </p>
