<p>Canadian schools are not quite CAD$40 000. The tuition for the University of Toronto for international students varies from CAD20-23K, with room/board being an additionional ~9K. ([Money</a> Matters](<a href=“Discover U of T”>Discover U of T)) If you plan well, it should be closer to 30K. It is true, however, that scholarship money more than 5K/year is quite rare.</p>
<p>hpfan018 Thank you very much,and I shall ask them!</p>
<p>How much was your parents’ income on your ISFAA? What assets, mortgages and savings did you disclose? How did you calculate your EFC? What does int’l fin. aid depend upon…savings or family income? Please help</p>
<p>Hi I would like to know, what do you do when most of the universities request proof that you are able to finance one year’s tuition, but you are applying for financial aid (scholarships)? I mean, if they can see that you are able to pay, would they still offer you the financial aid? Thanks.</p>
<p>The problem is that most American students have no idea about the details of international financial aid. You need to do the research yourself. Make a huge list of schools that interest you, with a wide range of selectivity, and go on EVERY website and see if you could possibly afford it. Be prepared to drop deeply in selectivity/academic quality if you’re committed to attending school in the U.S.</p>
<p>shadowedd - You can’t lie on your application. List the amount you’re willing to pay–more than likely, this will be equal to or less than the need-based determination anyway. Merit scholarships do not consider need/ability to pay. (Financial aid != scholarship, in this context.)</p>
<p>I’m wondering if international students are eligible for American university scholarships, such as in USC, or Northwestern.</p>
<p>If not, I’ll probably just apply to the ones that give international aid (no matter how few) like Northwestern (like 50 a year lol) and if not, go to McGill with a full ride I guess.</p>
<p>Thank you Keilexandra for your prompt reply!</p>
<p>Hey guys! I have found a very helpful article on college admissions for international students that focuses on financial aid. It has a step-by-step outline. If you are interested, go to </p>
<p>[Financial</a> Aid for International Students Applying to American Colleges - Associated Content](<a href=“http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2101913/financial_aid_for_international_students.html?cat=4]Financial”>http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2101913/financial_aid_for_international_students.html?cat=4)</p>
<p>Hey - are international students eligible for the the UC Regents Scholarships? Looking into Davis.</p>
<p>thank you so much</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>OK, this is my dilemma, I am dying to go to school in the states, but I am not absolutely sure what I want to study yet. For this reason I am considering staying in Canada and doing a first year at a Canadian university paying cheap(er) tuition rates while taking other things that interest me on the side to see what I really like. If I do this at an American university I will feel guilty for taking all these “taster” courses because each credit costs so much more. After a year I will try to transfer into an American university. </p>
<p>2) I am ALSO hoping to use my first year to apply to as many scholarships as possible to hopefully fund the rest of my degree.Would I potentially win more scholarships if I stay in Canada as a Canadian citizen going to a Canadian school? Places like fastweb list a lot of scholarships but I think the majority of them require US citizenship. I don’t want to get to the states and then realize too late most scholarships are closed to me, i would’ve been better off staying in canada. Also given that list showing all the universities that offer financial aid to international students, there seems to be hope. How generous are their financial aid for internationals? I am not picky as to the brandname of the American uni as long as I get in, since I intend to transfer out after a year anyway. </p>
<p>I can’t hope for vast entrance scholarships as I am a mature student and haven’t done that many extracurriculars when I was in high school. </p>
<p>Still, doing it at an American university will mean I get to live in the states that much sooner which has always been a desire of mine.</p>
<p>SO PLEASE I need some advice!</p>
<p>Hi.</p>
<p>So, I’ve been selecting schools that I will be trying to apply for admission. I have been quite ambitious, in fact, I’m afraid a bit too ambitious. I’m a well above average student, but I’m very certain that there are many applicants that are much stronger than me. So I was wondering, are there any colleges that could be possibly be safety colleges for me? I know that I’m not in a very good position for several factors (read below), but maybe you guys can help me out. Which schools would possibly meet this criteria:
**
- a top tier school
- known for being friendly towards internationals (I’m not sure if it’s going to help, but I’m from a very small country. I can bet that I will be the only applicant from this country.)
- known for its generous financing - I will be needing lots of financial aid
- known for being transfer-friendly
- decent transfer acceptance rate
**
I would really be thankful if you could help me out. I’ve been on hundreds of various college and university sites. I’ve done months of research, but I still think many of you here know better. Only college that comes up to my mind meeting most, if not all, of my criteria is Mount Holyoke College, but it’s, unfortunately, girls-only.</p>
<p>Thanks for any suggestion. I know that money is an issue for most of us.</p>
<p>Any info appreciated.</p>
<p>Especially wanting to know about:
Duke
Emory
Cornell
Vandy
Macalester
Rhodes</p>
<p>And please chance me if you have time:

<p>Hi. I will keep this straight and short, hope someone can help:
I’m looking for a full scholarship, or at least full tuition, I’d like a college in large cities </p>
<p>I’m doing the IB diploma with the predicted grade of 36-40 (I don’t know the exact points yet), and plan to major in Communications Studies (I know, not many scholarships in this field as in engineering and such). I’ve never been to America and have no family member there. SAT will be around 19xx, activities should be fine.</p>
<p>Do you have any suggestions?</p>
<p>hi everyone.
i am a high school graduate looking for pursuing an engineering degree in the us. however, i’ll need lots of aid( almost a full ride). i guess i am an above average student with sat composite 1500 and 800 in mathII and physics. i m also the class valedoctorian. so can ny1 suggest reach and safety college for me. which provides lots of aid to international student.</p>
<p>For Cornell in particular, I’ve found out that unless you’re from Canada or Columbia(I’m not sure if it was Columbia or other country), they have very little scholarships for international, like, we’re talking under 20, less maybe, under 10-15.</p>
<p>im guessing if you don’t have a social security number
financial aid is an impossibility?</p>
<p>hey guys im an international student frm India and have done the GCEs n got A-A-B-C in my A Levels.
