<p>how good is Georgetown with aid for international students??? I need a lot of aid and it was one of my top choices til i heard that its pretty stingy with aid, please clarify........</p>
<p>It [does</a> not promise](<a href=“http://finaid.georgetown.edu/internat.htm]does”>http://finaid.georgetown.edu/internat.htm) to meet full need for international students. The [scholarship</a> opportunities](<a href=“http://finaid.georgetown.edu/international.pdf]scholarship”>http://finaid.georgetown.edu/international.pdf) described that are available for international students don’t seem like they would really meet the need of anyone who needs “a lot” of aid; for example, their Bou Family Foundation Grant only offers $2500 to 2nd-year rising students. It’s nice, but it won’t help you for your first year or (apparently) for each subsequent years.</p>
<p>*Although financial assistance is limited for international students (students who are neither U.S. citizens nor eligible non-citizens), some funding is available.</p>
<p>Undergraduates: Georgetown offers a very limited number of need-based scholarships to selected first-year international students who demonstrate financial need for assistance. Prospective international students who wish to be considered for one of these awards should indicate their intent on the Application for Undergraduate Admission and should submit a CSS/Financial Aid Profile online at CollegeBoard.com. *</p>
<p>Georgetown doesn’t seem to have the endowment to be paying $200k for a student to go to its school. At least with a low income domestic student, there’s some federal aid (Pell, SEOG, and Stafford loans) that will get included, but with a low income int’l student, it would all be Georgetown’s money.</p>
<p>So, I would say that Georgetown is “iffy” for you. </p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>This is just my opinion, but I would imagine that at a school that says it has “limited aid” for internationals would be a school that is less likely to work for a student who has a lot of need because such a school might be more likely to accept the student with less need. </p>
<p>I don’t know if Georgetown is “need blind” for int’ls, but if it isn’t, then I would imagine that it would accept a student who has little need, so that it could “meet need” rather than accept a student who has big need but won’t be able to afford to go with the small FA package awarded.</p>
<p>Hey everyone i want to study business or econ 4 undergrad…my SAT score is math-740
CR-730 writing-710. i’ve been a regular member of my school quiz team and have won quite a few national quizzes. i was also a delegate at my school’s annual MUN this year…and i’m gonna do a bit of social service this year…i’ve been averaging around 75-80% in my school exams (top 10% of class) with a 91 in my class X boards. here’s my college list (provisional)-</p>
<p>Wooster
Amherst
Villanova
UChicago
Colgate

<p>Could you suggest some more colleges looking at my stats as well as the fact that i need a lot of aid??? Thanx. I’ll also be taking SAT II in Math I, II, Lit and World History( 750+ hopefully in each) and TOEFL (110+). I’ll get good teacher recommendations. so</p>
<p>If you need a lot of aid, the best suggestion would be to look for lower cost schools and/or generous schools in your own country!! Seriously, very very few US colleges give significant amounts of aid to internationals (except Canadians) and the majority of those are not need-blind. Colgate, for example, is not need blind for US students either and their cost of attendance is over $50K. Since they are generous with need-based aid, you can be sure that they accept mostly students with smaller amounts of “need” and very few “full need”.</p>
