<p>How generous exactly is Northwestern's international aid policy because I come from a family with meagre resources, and I need all the aid I can get... at least 97%. The University doesn't offer a fee waiver on its application for internationals, so I was wondering if that's an indication of its attitude towards international students seeking aid.</p>
<p>Actually, a Daily Northwestern Article was published on October 18th that discusses how Northwestern is allowing international students to apply for aid for the first time this year. I don't know how helpful it is but if you're interested check it out at <a href="http://www.dailynorthwestern.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2004/10/18/41736aadd840a?in_archive=1%5B/url%5D">http://www.dailynorthwestern.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2004/10/18/41736aadd840a?in_archive=1</a>
Good luck! :)</p>
