Good Colleges for International Students ?

<p>I'm currently in 9th grade and I'm looking around at different colleges to find a good fit for me.
So do you know any colleges with pretty decent financial aid ( doesn't have to be need blind )
with a lot of international students ?
I value good education and not prestige so no Ivy's for me :p</p>

<p>My english isn't the best around, so excuse my language :)</p>

<p>Many state universities do not offer any need-based financial aid to international students.
The best need-based aid for internationals tends to be at very selective private schools (including the Ivies and many small liberal arts colleges.)</p>

<p>You can find the number of international students at each school in its Common Data Set file.</p>

<p>Depending on your proposed college major you might want to get your bachelors degree in your home country and consider the US for post BS/BA work.</p>

<p>Since you’re in the 9th grade, what you need to do is focus on
1° getting the best grades you can
2° finding one or two activities where you can excel, and REALLY push yourself in it/them
You have two years to get a strong resume. :)</p>

<p>There are some colleges that are generous with some international students. Some require you to be able to pay a minimum of $20-25,000 before competing for scholarships (like Earlham, Messiah, or Eckerd), while others choose a handful of students with admission being more competitive if you need more money (like Franklin&Marshall, Macalester, Skidmore…) Some public universities offer merit scholarships, so you need to have certain test scores to apply for that type of financial aid: for example, Truman State, University of Alabama, Howard…</p>
