<p>How is my chance of being accepted to this university and receiving financial aid? My parents can afford at most $25000 per year</p>

<p>You have a really good shot. Santa Clara is not cheap with financial aid either my mother went there and got very good financial aid. Santa Clara is very good if you want to stay in the bay area.</p>

<p>SCU won’t be affordable for you – they offer no FA to international students. </p>

<p>Directly from their own college website: [Undergraduate</a> Admission - International Admission](<a href=“http://www.scu.edu/ugrad/admission_process/apply/international_admission.cfm]Undergraduate”>http://www.scu.edu/ugrad/admission_process/apply/international_admission.cfm)</p>

<p>“If you are an international student planning to enroll at SCU, you and your family must assume the total cost of a Santa Clara education. Financial aid is not available to undergraduate international students.”</p>

<p>Pretty cut and dry to me. Total cost of attendance is close to 50K. Poster has a budget of 25K. SCU offers zero FA to internationals.</p>

<p>You can always call/email to verify this information. I am presuming that Ligerfire’s mom was a US citizen and got good aid that way.</p>
