Financial Aid for International students at Need-Aware schools

<p>Does anyone have stats on this? such as, how many internationals needing FA did or did not get in to a certain school, percentages or something like that. I've tried to look for it in Stanford, Cornell and Columbia websites, but could not find any.</p>

<p>Penn gives out fin. aid packages to about 50 international students per class (1-2 transfer students)</p>

<p>hope this helps</p>

<p>Have you tried asking the admission office? Anyway, you should expect that for intls getting in with finaid is much harder at need-aware schools.</p>

<p>The numbers seem a lot higher than I expected. Is this all undergraduates or just the first year's?</p>

<p>thanks for the great link boho_girl!...
However... I thought that Northwestern Univ gave out FinAid to us int'ls? Why isnt it listed in the link you gave us? (or is it beacause Northwestern gives aid only to 30 ppl?)</p>

Try browsing through OACAC.com and see if that'll answer your question</p>
