Financial Aid For Internationals

<p>Hi,
I am an International student planning to study in the USA, and I know that it is expensive for international students.
I need some advice/information on what I can do with my situation.</p>

<p>-I plan to study finance
-My parents can pay up to 25-30K (USD) max (inc tuition books accommodation food ect) Per year.
-Haven't taken sat yet (taking soon)
-but I score in the top 15%-5% of students in my country</p>

<p>I am not totally sure if 25-30K will be enough for a good college (looking at Uconn and they need a signature to verify that we have 46K available for first year) </p>

<p>How does the aid process work, do they give aid out automatically (for good students?) or do you have to apply? and is it easy to get?</p>

<p>What are some good colleges that give aid to international students, or is the amount I have available to attend college enough without aid?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>
