Getting scholarships/grant after applying to colleges?

One thing you are forgetting…if you get need based aid from the college…and you then get an outside scholarship for someplace…your need based college aid WILL be reduced. But really…that is a secondary issue here. Most students do NOT get $200,000 in outside scholarships as international students (and I’m guessing thst is over four years…right?).

So,what that a student got $200,000 in scholarships! That student is NOT you. And as you noted, that student was not an international student. Outside scholarships to international students are not common…unless YOUR country happens to award them for college study in the U.S.

Like I said earlier…apply for admission…and apply for aid. You need BOTH to attend college her, or so it seems from your posts.

There are only FIVE colleges here that are both need blind for admissions and meet full need. They are amongst THE most competitive for admissions.

So, you in all other 3000 colleges or so…you will find that either they are need aware for admissions…or don’t meet full need for all accepted international students…or both.

There is nothing you can do but apply…and wait and see.
