Financial Aid for International Students

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Rochester

Hi,
I’m an international student and I’ve heard from lots of people on CC that Rochester doesn’t offer grants to international students. I called the financial aid office and the lady I spoke to said that international students are eligible to receive financial aid based on their needs as determined by the CSS profile. She even went on to say that it is possible to receive a full ride as an international student if that’s your determined need!

This clearly contradicts everything I’ve seen on college confidential and I am just confused. Does Rochester really offer international students substantial financial aid if need be?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

“Financial aid” can mean loans, and international students are not eligible for low-interest federal loans. That is true for any US college.

Yeah she did mention that the financial aid for international students are limited to grants, merit scholarships and work study.
