<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I wanted to ask if anyone had any idea about how easy it is to get financial aid at Rice if your an international student ? How badly are your chances of acceptance damaged if you need a full ride ?</p>
<p>I don’t know specifically for internationals, but Rice is need blind for domestic students, so need is not part of the decision factor.</p>
<p>Rice is not need-blind for international applicants. See the following pages for more information on the international student aid process:</p>

<p>I don’t think Rice gives very good Aid for internationals, tbh the admin seem to see internationals as ca$h cows.</p>
<p>This is noy only Rice but also other colleges including Ivies.</p>
<p>Yea, imo most US schools see internationals as ca$h cows. There are a few that are need blind for internationals however (Dartmouth, Amherst etc).</p>
<p>@barrk123 amherst college ? or UMass at amherst ?</p>
<p>Amherst college.</p>
<p>Rice has several full tuition merit scholarships for international students since they don’t want to provide FA to Internationals.</p>
<p>I think they are doing fine attracting enough Internationals although I am baffled by 88 Chinese students. That is a lot for one country.</p>
