Which schools give as much/more aid than Harvard?

<p>^^ That’s true, but look closer at the numbers</p>

<p>At UPenn: <a href=“Pennsylvania | Colleges and Schools Awarding International Financial Aid”>http://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/PA/Pennsylvania.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

970 International students attending the college, 50 of them on financial aid, receiving an average award of $29,619.00

</p>

<p>At Harvard: <a href=“Massachusetts | Colleges and Schools Awarding International Financial Aid”>http://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/MA/Massachusetts.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

665 International students attending the college, 435 of them on financial aid, receiving an average award of $36,754.00

</p>

<p>Although both schools offer 100% of need to international students, that need is institutionally calculated differently. And percentage wise, 50/970 should tell you that UPenn is balancing it’s budget by admitting lots of full-fare paying international students and very few international students that are determined to need financial aid.</p>
