<p>I am a Canadian citizen in New York State. I am very interested in Umich but from what I read they give absolutely no need-based financial aid for international students correct? But what about their wide selection of merit scholarships? Are they available for international students and are there separate applications required? </p>
<p>I am also applying for the University of Rochester which specifically gives Canadian and Mexican citizens financial aid. If anyone knows of any similar schools like that I would appreciate it.</p>
<p>Are you a permanent resident in the U.S. with a green card? If so, you’d be eligible for any aid which they might offer to an out-of-state student with high need (if you have high need.)
OOS tuition, however, is very high. Your chances for a viable fiscal pick are going to be the state in which you reside.</p>
<p>If you’re not a permanent resident at all, why not apply to McGill/UT/UBC etc. Great schools and a steal compared to US schools in terms of cost. Once you get to campus, you’d be eligible for OSAP in the case of UT, and fed grants everywhere else, etc.</p>
<p>Just a thought.
Best wishes.</p>
<p>Thank you for the response. No I am not a permanent citizen and I have already applied to McGill. My family however lives in the US so I am also looking for viable schools in America.</p>
