You can find colleges/universities by out-of-state tuition rate at [College MatchMaker - Type of School](College Search - BigFuture | College Board) But you need to remember that tuition and fees are only part of the story. You need to find out what your real cost of attendance (COA) would be. Don’t forget to factor in food, housing, miscellaneous fees, books, local travel, long-distance travel, personal expenses, etc. Some places that have cheap tuition/fees have expensive housing and vice versa.

“Are there ANY cc’s that could offer need-based financial aid to their international students?”

Some offer aid to local students who do not have permanent residence or qualify to file the FAFSA but have lived in the community for a number of years and have graduated from a local high school. You would not qualify for that kind of aid.

Your best bet is to complete your undergraduate degree in Canada. Depending on your career choice, completing post-graduate studies in the US may be a good option. However, you don’t need to think about that just yet.
