Which technology institutes in the USA offer scholarships for international students?

I'm looking at technology schools in the US and I'm curious which ones provide scholarships for international students. Are there certain institutes known for being more generous with aid? Any recommendations or advice would be great!

Many top technology institutes in the U.S. offer scholarships to international students, although the specifics can vary from institution to institution. Here are some examples:

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) originated need-blind admissions for international students and meets 100% of demonstrated need regardless of citizenship. MIT calculates financial need based on tuition, fees, living expenses, and other factors, then deduces the expected family contribution (remember using the net price calculator can provide an estimate). The remainder is what MIT will try to meet through scholarships, loans, and potential work-study programs.

2. California Institute of Technology (Caltech), while not need-blind for international students, commits to meet 100% of the demonstrated financial need for accepted international students. Caltech's financial aid packages are comprised of grant aid, work-study, and a small amount of loan to meet the full demonstrated need.

3. Carnegie Mellon University offers the Carnegie Mellon International Student Scholarships which can cover between $500 and full tuition. The amount depends on several factors such as the financial situation of the student's family and the estimated cost of attendance.

4. Stanford University has a generous financial aid program that also extends to international students. At Stanford, families making less than $65,000 per year typically pay nothing toward tuition, room, and board. Families with higher income, but making less than $150,000 per year, pay no tuition.

5. Georgia Tech offers the Presidential Scholarship Program which is a merit-based award for Georgia residents, however, the school also offers financial assistance to international students through assistantships and fellowships at the graduate level.

When applying, ensure that you fill out all the necessary financial aid documents and indicate your request for aid. Since many schools have specific deadlines related to financial aid, keep a strict timeline to make sure all your applications and financial information are submitted on time. It's always a great idea to reach out to the financial aid offices of these schools if you have detailed questions or unique circumstances. They can walk you through the process and give you advice that's more tailored to your particular situation. Best of luck!
