<p>State schools generally give little or no aid for non-residents. Very few schools award aid to international students, so you need to check with each school individually to determine their policy.</p>

<p>Wouldn’t he be considered a domestic student for the purpose of financial aid (or even admissions), since he’s a permanent resident?</p>

<p>Are you being recruited for track? You should be checking the websites of the schools you are interested and concting their track coaches to see if you are a viable candidate for recruiting.</p>

<p>Otherwise:</p>

<p>UIUC (chances of being admitted would be better if you are in state) Inless you are admitted into a honors program with $ attached or recurited as an athelte with $ you would most likely be a full pay.</p>

<p>Northwestern- if you are recruited for track than it is a whole different ball game. If not, NU has a reputation of not being generous with aid.</p>

<p>WashU- going to be extremely competitive just because of the sheer number of applicants. They offer need based FA. They also offer a numbe rof merit scholarships for their top students. Most scholarships are extremely competitive.</p>

<p>UChicago has a sliding scale with estimates of their need based FA by income:</p>
