<p>I will be an Indian student who will be sooner or later applying in many of the Universities in the USA and I had a curiosity that how many international students get financial aid from the university they are applying into.</p>
<p>Depends on the university</p>
<p>What about the leading universities like MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Princeton, Stanford, etc.?</p>
<p>It is very hard and the competition is too damn high for aid for HYPSM, Caltech. But it’s not impossible. </p>
<p>I’m not very sure but it also depends on how much aid do you want. HYPM are need-blind but Cal tech and Stanford are need-aware. Cal tech only takes around 30 Int’ls every year. So to get in Cal tech with sufficient aid is nearly impossible unless you have something extraordinary ( like a nobel prize or something- just kidding )

<p>Hey guys,am just talking bachelor’s! #:-S </p>
<p>But still, lets take the wildest possibility and say if a student requires about 38000 USD. Would they do that for an international student at HYPSM?</p>
<p>Need-blind unis will- if I’m not wrong

<p>The article tells me to start looking at the US political stance for the next 2 years because Congress has a role in it :-? </p>
<p>Go through the Common Data Set of the universities/colleges.
You can find the no. of international students receiving financial aid.</p>
