U.S. Universities Offering Scholarships for International Students?

I'm planning to apply to U.S. universities but I need financial assistance. Are there specific universities known for offering good scholarships to international students? I'd appreciate any advice on where to look or personal experiences on this!

Yes, several U.S. universities do offer scholarships specifically for international students. Here are a few that are known for their aid to international students:

- Columbia University: Columbia is need-blind and meets full demonstrated need for all admitted students, including internationals.

- Yale University: Like Columbia, Yale is need-blind for all applicants, regardless of citizenship, and meets full demonstrated need.

- Harvard University: Harvard offers need-based aid to international students and will cover 100% of demonstrated financial need.

- Amherst College: Amherst College is need-blind for international applicants and commits to meeting 100% of every admitted student's demonstrated need.

- University of Southern California: USC offers a limited number of scholarships to international students, so it's not guaranteed, but still a possibility.

- University of Chicago: The University of Chicago offers need-based aid to international students. It's not necessarily need-blind, but they do commit to meeting 100% of demonstrated need for those who do get in.

Remember, international students can also apply for private scholarships or look for scholarships in their home country that can be used for studying abroad.

When researching universities, always use their net price calculators to get an estimate of how much aid you could receive. Keep in mind that these estimates can sometimes be inaccurate for international students, so it's always a good idea to reach out to the school's financial aid office with any questions. Also, make sure to start your scholarship search early and apply to as many as you qualify!

Best of luck with your scholarship search and college applications!
