I'm looking into schools that provide decent scholarships for international students like me. Could anyone suggest universities with a reputation for providing good financial aid to internationals?
Sure, I can definitely help with that! There are several U.S. universities known for providing generous financial aid to international students.
1. Harvard University: Harvard offers need-blind admission for all students, including international applicants. This means your ability to pay doesn’t affect your acceptance chances. Harvard is also committed to meeting 100% of all admitted students’ demonstrated financial need.
2. Yale University: Similar to Harvard, Yale practices need-blind admissions and pledges to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need.
3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): MIT is another university that has adopted a need-blind admission policy for international students. They also commit to providing financial aid that covers the total cost of attendance, calculated based on your family's income.
4. Princeton University: Princeton is committed to providing a significant amount of financial aid to international students. If you're accepted, you'll receive a financial aid package that meets your full need without being required to take out a loan.
5. Amherst College: Amherst provides need-based financial aid to international students, and this covers all 4 years of college. Applications are need-blind, meaning financial situation won't impact the likelihood of acceptance.
Remember that you will still have to demonstrate your need for financial aid by submitting all necessary documents and forms during the application process. And it's also important to verify the information about every college's policy as it could change every application cycle. Good luck with your search!
