Williams College scholarships for international students?

I'm an international student interested in applying to Williams College. I was wondering if they offer scholarships specifically for international students. I'd love to know more about the financial aid opportunities available for non-U.S. applicants.

Williams College is known for its generous financial aid and is committed to meeting 100% of every student's demonstrated financial need, regardless of their nationality. Yes, this includes international students just like you. Their aid packages often comprise a combination of grants, which do not need to be repaid, and work-study opportunities, allowing students to work on campus to earn money towards education expenses. This can significantly bring down the cost of attendance.

Now, more specifically about scholarships - Williams does not offer scholarships that are specifically for international students. Instead, they practice need-based aid, meaning all aid is awarded based on your family’s economic situation, not your academic achievements or talents. In line with that, Williams College does not award merit scholarships.

To apply for financial aid at Williams, you’ll need to complete the CSS Profile. It’s essential to submit this alongside your application, as Williams College is need-aware for international students, meaning your ability to pay could be a factor in the admissions decision.

Please note that obtaining aid as an international student can be competitive, but remember Williams’ commitment to meeting the full demonstrated need of all admitted students. If you are admitted, they'll work with you to ensure you can afford to attend.
