Financial Forms for International Student Not Applying for Aid?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>Just a really quick question! Would there be any financial forms that need to be filled up at this point as I submit my application to Princeton as a non-US citizen international student in Asia who is not applying for financial aid? I know that certain colleges require these to verify that the applicant is able to pay for tuition if accepted. I've been having difficulty finding information on this on Princeton's website, however. Could it just be the Certification of Finances or an additional or supplementary form? I'd greatly appreciate any input! Thank you very much! :D</p>

<p>No. You only fill out FinAid forms if you actually want FinAid. If you get in however, you will be quizzed about your finances by your local US Embassy.</p>

<p>Not even the Certification of Finances? I heard from some that all US colleges require some sort of paperwork from internationals to prove they can pay/won’t be a burden on the US economy? :stuck_out_tongue: Not true? Sorry, anxious Asian here!</p>

<p>Most U. S. universities admit international students who can afford to attend to increase their revenue. Princeton is one of the very few universities to admit international applicants without regard to their ability to pay for their education. </p>

<p>From the university’s web site: “Princeton is need-blind for all applicants, U.S. citizens and non-citizens alike. Your family’s ability to pay for your university education is not a factor in our admission decision.” </p>

<p>And “Are applications from non-U.S. citizens treated differently in the admission process?
No. We consider all applications in the same way, regardless of citizenship or high school location. The admission process is also need-blind for all applicants, including citizens of countries other than the United States.”

<p>This policy makes Princeton very attractive to international students. Good luck!</p>
