Schools Offering Full Scholarships for International Students

I'm hoping to find schools that offer full scholarships to international students. Does anyone know of specific universities or programs that are known for doing this? Any help would be super helpful.

Sure, I can provide some information on this. Several universities in the US offer full scholarships or generous financial aid to international students.

Firstly, all Ivy League universities, as well as Stanford, MIT, and Duke, provide need-blind admissions to all students, which includes international students. This means they review applications without considering the applicant's financial circumstances. If they decide to admit you, they will provide you with a financial aid package that meets 100% of your demonstrated financial need.

Additionally, some schools like the University of Chicago and Middlebury offer generous need-based aid to international students but aren't need-blind. This means they take into account your financial situation when making admissions decisions.

A few other schools offer scholarships specifically for international students. For example, Tulane University and the University of Southern California both have merit-based scholarships that international students are eligible for.

Emory University also has the Emory University Scholar Programs which provide full or partial merit-based scholarships.

Also, look at Berea College, which is a work-study college that provides full scholarships to all admitted students, including international students. Admitted students work on campus as part of their financial aid package.

These are just examples, and there are many other institutions with similar programs. The specifics of each scholarship program may vary, and it's important to look into the scholarship terms and eligibility requirements of each school you're interested in.
