Cornell International Student Financial Aid

<p>Hello, I had a question regarding financial aid from Cornell.</p>

<p>I am an international student and I am thinking about applying early decision to Cornell University.
Financial aid is very important to me and I am considered to be from a low-income family.
But due to my status as an international student, receiving financial aid from Cornell may be difficult.</p>

<p>Do you think I can get financial aid even if I apply early to Cornell?
Would applying early decision as an international student reduce my chance of getting financial aid?
Also, I heard that only around 40 to 50 international students in one grade receive financial aid. Is that true?
What are the standards that decide which international students get financial aid?</p>

<p>Thank you so much</p>

<p>Yes, they do give need based aid but first, it’s very limited.</p>

<p>However it’s a need blind school, so your FA application shouldn’t negatively affect your admission. </p>

<p>Standards? academic excellence. diversity, potential, etc…</p>
