Generally speaking, international students don’t get financial aid, and don’t get accepted if they are requesting it. I do know of a few specific examples who were technically “international students” but had lived in the US so long they could be citizens who were given financial aid.

If you’re an international student, and you’re requesting aid, I recommend a long list of college applications. US schools don’t like you - much of aid for US students comes from government-subsidized money, and schools also view international students as a way to get plenty of money without offending anyone.
