University giving the most scholarships to international students?

I'm an international student planning to study in the U.S., and I'm searching for universities that offer a lot of scholarships to students like me. Does anyone know which schools are the most generous in this department?

a year ago

There are quite a few American universities that are generous with their scholarships for international students. Here are some examples:

1. Amherst College: As a need-blind and meets-full-need institution, Amherst offers aid packages to all admitted international students based on their families' financial circumstances.

2. Yale University: Yale commits to meeting 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all admitted international students. This aid may include scholarships and grants.

3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): MIT is need-blind and meets the full needs of international students, just like domestic applicants.

4. Duke University: Duke offers a limited number of merit scholarships to international students.

5. University of Chicago: UChicago offers a handful of merit-based scholarships open to international students, like the Odyssey Scholarship program.

6. Vanderbilt University: Vanderbilt provides need-blind admissions and meets 100% demonstrated needs of a subset of non-U.S. citizen applicants.

Please remember that it can nonetheless be competitive to secure these scholarships, and it's also essential to look for outside scholarship opportunities as well. Furthermore, some universities may require additional financial aid paperwork for international students, so remember to check each school's financial aid website for specific instructions. If you're not sure about a school's financial aid policies or the scholarships they offer to international students, don't hesitate to reach out to the school's admissions office or financial aid office directly. They'll be able to guide you through the process and provide you with the most accurate up-to-date information. Good luck with your search!
