<p>all this time, i've been focusing on SATs, grades and things that I don't know anything about the application process itself. </p>
<p>As an international, how do I apply for fin.aid? which forms do I use? common app? I noticed in the common app, i NEED(?) to provide a SSN if im applying for aid but what do I do if im international? </p>
<p>What is FAFSA? is this relevant to international students like myself? </p>
<p>again, if anybody could please inform me of the forms, process, and things I should keep in mind when applying for aid... thanks!</p>
<p>FAFSA is for US citizens and eligible non US citizens (mainly green card holders). It is not relevant to international students.</p>
<p>You need to check with the schools you are applying to. The information about how to apply for financial aid should be readily available on their web sites.</p>
<p>Where do Canadians belong? </p>
<p>I just went on Harvard’s aid site and they have grouped US citizens and Canadians together. I clicked on the link and it says a whole buncha stuff about FAFSA…does this mean FAFSA is relevant for Canadians?</p>
<p>I heard numerous times that Canadians are given the same consideration and reviewed under same criteria for finaid. Is this true?</p>
<p>Canadians are not eligible to receive Title IV federal aid, which is what the FAFSA is generally used for. I don’t know what Harvard does for Canadians … maybe they have you fill out the Profile? ASK THEM!!</p>
