Colleges with Best Scholarships for International Students

I'm an international student searching for colleges that provide substantial scholarships. Which schools are known for being generous with financial aid for international students like me?

8 months ago

Absolutely, there are several colleges that offer generous financing for international students.

1. Harvard University: Harvard has a need-blind policy for all students, including international students. This means your financial situation is not considered when making an admission decision. Additionally, they pledge to meet 100% of demonstrated need for all admitted students, so your financial need won't be a barrier to attend if accepted.

2. MIT: Like Harvard, MIT also follows a need-blind admissions policy, and meets the full demonstrated need of all admitted students, international or otherwise.

3. Amherst College: As a liberal arts institution, Amherst is committed to ensuring every admitted student is able to attend. It practices need-blind admissions for all students and guarantees to meet 100% demonstrated need.

4. Yale: Although Yale is need-aware for international students (meaning they do consider ability to pay in their admissions process), they offer extensive need-based scholarships for international students who are admitted and, like the others, meet 100% of demonstrated need.

5. Dartmouth College: While also need-aware for international students, Dartmouth does meet full demonstrated need for all students it accepts, so it's another school to consider.

While this isn't an exhaustive list, these serve as examples of the types of schools that are committed to making higher education accessible for all students, no matter their financial situation. As always, double check directly with the university's financial aid office or official website for the most accurate information. Good luck with your application process!
