Financial Aid for International Transfer Student

[sybbie719]

<p>From Penn

In recent years, we have offered an average of
45 aid awards to admitted international freshmen, and one or
two to admitted international transfer students

<p>From Stanford</p>

<p>

Stanford can offer admission with financial aid to a small number of international applicants a year. Thus, a student’s request for financial aid may be a factor in the admission decision.

<p>From Columbia</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>All other applicants are evaluated in a need-aware manner, which means that the admissions committee takes into consideration how much financial aid a student requires when rendering an admissions decision. Columbia admits a large number of foreign students who receive a substantial amount of financial aid.

<p>From Cornell</p>

<p>

Cornell has a need-blind admissions policy, which means that we review your admissions application without considering whether
you’ve applied for aid; Cornell awards all financial aid on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Cornell is pleased to be able
to provide financial aid to a limited number of students who are citizens of countries other than the United States.

</p>

<p>With the exception of Cornell, your ability to pay will be a factor in admissions. One of the challenges that you will face is that schools have a limited amount of aid for international students and even less for international transfer students. Your needing 30k will not work in your favor.</p>
