They do give better FA to international students than do many other schools, but no one here can tell you what they’d give you. You will need to send in your financial info. That will be your application for need-based aid. The rest of your application (scores, GPA, essay, recommendations, ECs) will automatically put you in the pool for merit aid. I truly don’t know how many, if any, students get 85-90% aid at Grinnell. If you absolutely need that to attend, I think you can straight out ask the financial aid office if that’s a possibility. I think they’d be honest and you have nothing to lose by asking.
