Financial aid for international students

<p>What are the financial aid opportunities available for international students seeking to study at Emory University?</p>

<p>I am also looking for information on the best loan options for international students in Northeastern University(pharmD major). Tuition and fees is expensive and my parents can only afford my first year tuition…help!</p>

<p>@jfklink If you checked clearly, this is Emory University sub forum! If you post your problem in Northeastern’s sub forum, someone should be able to help you!</p>

<p>Merit-based Scholarships</p>

<p>Emory offers merit-based aid through the Emory Scholars or Goizueta Scholars programs. To be considered for an academic scholarship, students must be nominated by an appropriate high school official, normally the college counselor. The nomination form, scholar essay, scholar recommendation and all admission application materials must be submitted by November 1 of the student’s senior year. Though the submission deadline is in November, the application is not a binding, Early Decision application. Selection of merit scholars is extremely competitive; Emory typically receives more than 2,500 nominations and awards approximately 150 scholarships. The awards range from $10,000/year to the full cost of tuition, room, board and fees.</p>

<p>In addition to merit-based scholarships above, we also offer merit awards through the Alben W. Barkley (Debate) Scholarship and music scholarships.</p>

<p>Need-based Aid</p>

<p>Unfortunately, only U.S. citizens and qualified noncitizens such as permanent residents can receive federal and institutional need-based financial aid from Emory.</p>

<p>International students are required to submit a financial verification form in the admission process.</p>

<p>In short, Emory gives no financial aid to international students, and as part of the application process verifies that you have enough money in your bank account to cover at least a year’s COA. Unless you can get private merit aid from somewhere else, you’re gonna be paying full.</p>
