<p>We have had international students at my school who have received 50% financial aid from schools including Trinity U in San Antonio, Grinnell, Lawrence, Illinois Wesleyan, Wooster. It is a tricky business when you are an international. You have to be diligent when looking for the right match between what you can offer a school and what a school can offer you.</p>

<p>I hope that will be helpful.</p>
<p>pinklipstik - it doesn't sound like the greatest situation. FIDM is an alright school but I think it's a for-profit university. They offer no financial aid. You would have to get it from an external source. Some companies may be willing to sponsor you but I'm not sure who exactly. Why not go to CSM or LCF and then do an exchange for a year?</p>
<p>I'm from Germany but my dream is studiing in the USA. My favourites are Yale, Princeton and Harvard. But I have a financial problem and maybe I have to bury my dream. That's sad, but we haven't the money to pay for my possible study and I don't think that my parents would pay for such expensive colleges.
Have you any tips for me? Can you help me?
Greets from Germany and I hope I would get an answere soon!</p>
<p>You could do what most do--go to school in your country & perhaps consider studying in the US for a term abroad or for grad school. Aid money is generally quite limited enough for US students & very limited for international students. You could inquire at each of the US schools you're interested in & see what FAid they offer international students.</p>
<p>Thank you very much. I will do what you proposed and see what I can find.
I sent a message to Yale last week and in their answere they told me studiing in Yale costs 45000$ a year. Princeton is much cheaper, it "only" cost the half.
So... thank you again</p>
<p>Actually, Princeton & many US colleges (especially the private ones) are about the same $45,000-50,000/year. Not sure where you got the idea that Princeton is about 1/2 the price of Yale, but that's not at all true.</p>
<p>Is there anywhere I can estimate the amount of financial aid? BTW, I'm an international applicant</p>
<p>A friend of mine told me that he will apply only to universities that have accepted Bulgarians.Is there any difference whether you are a bulgarian,a greek or a german for exapmle?</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me which of these exams are a better choice to take O-level or IGCSE?And which GCE exam board is better option to take CIE or Edexcel? And for home schooled students sitting for their GCE exams,do they also have to take AP for 1 year acceleration or is A-level good enough?And how much extra do A-level students have to study if they want to take AP aswell and which is easier?
Thankyou.</p>
<p>@haru07: U of Redlands gave 10,000 to my client-student (at first nothing, but then I tried with a phone call and got it up to 10,000). This was in this particular case, I do not know what your profile is but it is well possible that Redlands gives more than 10,000 to internationals. I do not know about maximum amounts.</p>
<p>I have been at a californian community college for two years, which is completely affordable if your government provides some sort of tuition-based student loan on your behalf. Colleges I know for sure offer SOME, note, SOME kind of aid for international transfer students are Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Dartmouth. Colleges that offer substantial aid and are less selective include Oberlin and Colby college. As an international student, you need to really look at ALL colleges that interest you academically then contact their financial aid departments to look into what they could offer you.</p>
<p>has anyone here heard about Fulbright?..
I applied to 7 colleges through this entity and 4 colleges already accepted me with merit and need-based aid (11-17k per year).
If u have any questions just send me a msg.</p>
<p>I'm an international student interested in doing my undergradute studies in the US. I know some schools will "consider the fact that a applicant requests for aid (ex. Stanford)" while others "are need-based and will not consider the fact that a applicant requests for aid (ex. Princeton says they will give aid to all students need-based [according to the school pamphlet])".</p>
<p>So,,, is it actually possible for a students to request financial aid at one school, and not request any aid at another school?? (Please excuse me if this is not good question---but kindly tell me why.) Thank You.</p>
<p>yes, light_paddle, that is possible, I did not apply for aid at Barnard, where I knew aid would make the admissions very cut throat.</p>
<p>happyjanezhang : Thank you. But even if we use the same applications (like common app), is it able to apply for some and not apply for others? I mean, could the colleges possibly find out that we're doing this?</p>
<p>the fin. aid apps are done differently( some schools ask you to fill out their own forms), and schools do not check this, so long as you can prove to the colleges you do NOT apply for aid that you can pay for 4 years.</p>
<p>anyone knows about financial aid at cornell for canadian students? I heard its very stingy. My parents make about $80000 canadian before tax; we have a house but still have to pay for mortgage; im an only child; we have two cars, both of which are at least 7 years old, basically your average middle-income family. How much money am I expected to pay? Anyone has experience with this matter?</p>
<p>@Andriuxs:</p>
<p>You must mean the Fulbright Center (or AMIDEAST in the Middle East) which is US Government sponsored information center for study in the US. They also take care of exchange programs with the US like Fulbright Scholarship Program (graduate) or Campus Scholarship Program (undergraduate).
At what country are you located? And what exactly did Fulbright help you with? The whole selection and application process? What schools did you get in?</p>
<p>Hello everyone! I have a question. I'm an international student who will apply this year to get into college in the USA and these are the colleges I picked. Do you think I have chances of getting financial aid? My parents make $4500 a year so I pretty much don't have any chance if I don't get financial aid</p>
