<p>From my thorough research and consultations with experienced at applying ppl I can tell that EVERY I stress EVERY school is likely to offer some kind of financial aid for international students. The thing that's required from an applicant is to appeal to admission committee. Even though universities claim to offer no aid for internationals they will make an exception if the applicant is what Universities want to see among its students.
I base my argument on the rule that I always try to keep in mind - THERE IS AN EXCEPTION TO ANY RULE.
I am also an international applying for Lehigh and Bucknell for Fall 2005. Have got no money, but have got strong ambition to study there. So issues of financial aid are not alien to me and I want to share my concerns with others who possess knowledge about this.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I found this website that lists most schools which offer Financial Aid to Intels. But I don't recognize half of these universities.. but I hope it helps. And if someone can format this into pretty stuff, it would be great - soz, i dont know all that html code stuff. Oh and I don't know if they are needblind or not. sorry!</p>
<p>It a school is not listed here, it probably does not have much financial aid for international students. However, it is worth noting that some schools may have athletic scholarships that are open to both international students and US students.

<p>There is one unnoticed but very good liberal arts school at Lebanon, Illinois. Its name is McKendree College. McKendree offer need based scholarship to any international students. website <a href="http://www.mckendree.edu%5B/url%5D">www.mckendree.edu</a>
Any international students considering FA and small good liberal art school should look at this college. I have lots of friends who have recieved full aid from Mckendree. </p>
