<p>What options for significant financial aid does an international undergraduate student pursuing an education in the United States have? What kind of aid is available to Indian students, apart from scholarships offered by specific colleges themselves?</p>
<p>Any aid for international students will be from the schools themselves. Federal aid is only for US citizens or eligible permanent residents. However, a lot of schools do not offer either need based aid or merit scholarships to international students at all. So you need to check the schools you are interested in to see if they that do.</p>
