<p>I wonder if i would be given need based aid,because my family income is about 2500$ a year … yeap,though this is above the average for Bulgaria there’s no way for me to pay my fees and that’s obvious.The colleges i’m considering are:
CMU
UIUC
Gatech
Cornell
Mit
Berkeley
Caltech
Stanford
UPenn
Princeton
University of Washington
UCLA

<p>Some of your high ranked colleges like MIT, Princeton, may provide need based aid to international students and you may qualify at those if admitted. However, public (state owned) universities like UIUC, GTech, Berkeley, UCLA, and Wash, generally do not give any need based financial aid to internationals and internationals generally have to submit forms proving they can cover the annual costs to even be considered for admission.</p>
<p>You need to check each college’s web site to see if they give aid to internationals. Many US colleges don’t give aid to internationals or give aid to only a few extremely outstanding internationals.</p>
