Hi everyone, I am currently searching for colleges that offer generous aid for international students and I find that Beloit College is among those (111 students, $2,143,021 total) (http://thecollegematchmaker.com/65-colleges-give-generous-aid-international-students/)
My contribution is weak and I nearly need a full tuition to attend college. So, is there any chance?
SAT: 2030, i will boost it up in October
Extracurricular activities are fairly good (leader and member)
academics: class rank 8/46 and GPA 8.9/10.0
I want to have more detailed information about the generosity of Beloit College. Any personal experience?
Thanks
I applied as an international and received a $30,000 Presidential scholarship so I would say they can be very generous to internationals although I received merit based aid not need based aid.
Hello,
I have applied to Beloit College too and have been worried ever since if there are any chances for me. I am also an international student and I can only contribute around 10000$ every year.
My SAT is 2140 (CR+M: 1410). My GPA is 9.0/10 for grade 10 & 11 and 8.8 for grade 12. Do you think I have a chance to attend Beloit College with enough aid?
Thank you!
Well, I did know the average aid for internationals, which is not high enough given my family contribution. But I still apply since I have heard that there are 5 full-tuition scholarships at Beloit College. I just dont know if I will qualify for such prestigious scholarships or not.
Thank you for the advice, anyway! Good day!

Hi. I’m also an international student applying to Beloit with a 2170 (1440) SAT and the same GPA (9.0/10) as yours. I got $30k in scholarship and none in financial aid, leaving my COA to $26k.
As I don’t show much need, this is fairly generous to me. Regarding your situation, I think you will receive the same scholarship (or just $25k, the latter $5k was a surprise to me). Let’s hope Beloit meet your need.

Thank you! That really cheers me up, you know, though I think my chance is slim. I have never known about those full-tuition-scholarship receivers, so I really don’t know if I am eligible, or if anyone has ever been awarded such scholarships.
Won’t give my hopes up, anyway!
@lhtanh98
By the way, may I ask you something? Will you be attending Beloit College now that you have been granted admission? Or are you still trying your luck else where?
Hope you don’t mind.
Just to clarify, full tuition is the cost of attending a university; it generally does not include room and board, health insurance fees, books, and miscellaneous fees. You are all aware of that?
@auntbea. Yes, I am. My family can afford room and board and other personal expenses. So if I’m lucky enough to get the full-tuition scholarship, I think I’ll be able to attend the college.
@Komz1304, that’s exactly what I hope for. I really want to know the stats of those scholarship receivers. Though they say that the scholarship selection process is largely holistic, I believe that stats matter quite a lot too.
I emailed Beloit and asked about criterion for the scholarship sometime in January, and I was told that the admission comittee would look at everything: grades, essays, ECs, and so on to make a decision. They said that the process would be holistic in general.
