International student seeking financial aid from Carleton

Colleges & Universities A-Z Carleton College

<p>I have been accepted to Carleton for the Class of 2009.
I'm an international student, and I originally applied without requesting financial aid, which, at Carleton, is in form of both need and merit based scholarship. (I'm refering to Starr since I am an Asian.)</p>

<p>I'm wondering if I will be able to get some financial aid from Carleton next year.
Of course, I will have to prove why my family's financial need has changed.
But, is it possible at all even when I applied without requesting the aid?</p>

<p>Are there any other international students seeking financial aid from Carleton and who have actually received some?</p>

<p>unfortunately, the answer is no. All the non-need blind schools explicitly say that int'l students who are admitted without aid cannot get aid all 4 years at the college.</p>

<p>wcovers, like best_wr said, it won't be possible. Just a few days ago, the Director of Int'l Recruitment visited our school and two of my friends (twins in fact) who are planning to go to Carleton asked him if they could apply for aid now (they didn't apply for aid initially). He explicitly said no.</p>
