<p>Does WUSTL offer Financial aid or Merit Scholarships to those who did not apply before their freshmen year?</p>
<p>And if so, do they offer any to International Students?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they offer financial aid to those who do not apply their freshman year, but merit scholarships are only available freshman year, according to the wustl website.</p>
<p>This year we applied to financial aid late and only received a small amount. After talking to the Financial Aid department, they said if I do well my freshman year I can earn a lot more financial aid for my sophomore year.</p>
<p>Sorry for resurrecting a 2 month old thread but it’s better than starting a new one.</p>
<p>So can international students apply for financial aid the second year if they didn’t apply for it the first year? I know acolombian already answered but I just wanted to make sure does it apply for international students as well?</p>
<p>ya, you can definitely apply for aid whenever. the SFS office is pretty well aware that lots of new people might be needing aid the way things are going lately.</p>
<p>that’s really interesting what they told SChoubey though… it does seem like a lot of the financial aid is “mixed in” with merit aid… i’m not really sure how that works.</p>
<p>Financial aid - Yes Merit awards - generally No - as a general rule awarded to freshmen only. Although some financial aid may involve a merit component.</p>
