<p>Hi, I have applied several ivy league school as RD applicant. I’m from a low income family, when I wrote my application, everybody around encourged me and told me not to worry about the financials. </p>
<p>Though the RD decision will be known in coming April, I am now start to distraught about my financials, can I afford to pay the tuition and expenses? So far I have only filled out the financial aid forms for each ivy league schools. I have not applied any other financial aids if any.</p>
<p>Are there any scholarships or any kinds of grants I can apply beforehand? What are their requirements and dealines? By the way, I’m a Canadian citizen studying in high school in Canada. Thanks!</p>
<p>The Ivies all guarantee to meet your documented financial need – if you are accepted. There’s are financial aid estimators here on CC’s site as well as on Princeton’s site that you could use to estimate the amount of aid that you’ll get if you’re admitted.</p>
<p>Frankly, the odds of admission are so long at any Ivy that if you want something to worry about, worry about the strong possibility that you won’t be admitted. Difficult as it is to get admitted to Ivies, admission is even more difficult for internationals. Make sure that you have back-ups that you know you’ll be accepted to and know that you can afford. Those probably are public institutions in Canada, since you are Canadian.</p>
<p>It is very late to apply for outside financial aid. You can try fastweb .com, however most scholarships listed there are for US citizens, and also had deadlines earlier in the year. Check with your GC about local scholarships that you might qualify for. That might be your best bet.</p>

<p>Thanks. I have applied scholarship in Canada but the money retricts to be used for tuition for Canadian universities. I just worry if I got accepted into the ivy leagues, I might have financial problem. How about those CCers who have applied RD, have you applied any scholarship or any grants before you know the decision?</p>
<p>any help? any help?</p>
