<p>bummmp… :)</p>
<p>Spending 5 mins on Google…</p>
<p>Brown:
Q. As an International transfer student, if I did not apply for aid at the time of admission OR I applied for aid and was not eligible for scholarship assistance at the time of admission, can I be considered for scholarship assistance in future years?</p>
<p>A. No. International students admitted through the transfer process will only be considered for need based assistance (both scholarship and loan) if they applied for AND received scholarship assistance at the time of admission, regardless of any changes in your family’s circumstances.</p>
<p>Cornell: (Found something that asked to input info about you, so I put transfer, international, parents are married, family is not self-employed. If your info is different, then the results may be different, but I think generally for International Students, it’s this policy)</p>
<p>International Students
Cornell University is pleased to provide financial aid to students who are not citizens of the United States. Financial aid for international students is made available from University funds as well as from scholarships that include (but are not limited to) the Cornell Club of Hong Kong Scholarship, The Robert and Wendy Purcell Scholarship for students from the Philippines and Thailand, and the Tata Scholarship for students from India.
To apply for international student financial aid, applicants should submit the International Financial Aid Application on time to receive full consideration.</p>
<p>If you have questions about financial aid for international students, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.</p>
<p>If you have questions about eligible non-citizenship status, refer to the Eligibility and Policies section.</p>
<p>Columbia:
What is the financial aid policy at Columbia?</p>
<p>All admitted students, including international and foreign students, are granted financial aid based upon the same principles:</p>
<p>Financial aid at Columbia is need-based. There are no academic, athletic or talent or otherwise merit-based institutional scholarships.
Columbia meets 100% of the demonstrated financial need for ALL students, including foreign students. And we continue to meet 100% of your demonstrated financial need for all four years of study.
How does applying for financial aid affect an international applicant?</p>
<p>All applicants who are citizens of the United States, Mexico or Canada, permanent residents of the United States or students granted refugee visas by the United States are read in a need-blind manner, no matter where they attend school or where they reside. The term “need-blind” means financial need has no bearing on the admissions decision.</p>
<p>All other applicants are evaluated in a need-sensitive manner, which means that the admissions committee takes into consideration how much financial aid a student requires when rendering an admissions decision. Although financial aid is available for foreign students, candidates should be aware that their applications are read in a more selective process than are other candidates’. Columbia admits a large number of foreign students who receive a substantial amount of financial aid.</p>
<p>Amherst (not 100% positive on this one. They grouped together the Freshmen & Transfer info and then had a section for international students, listed below):
International Students
Financial aid awards are available each year to international students. International applicants should follow the procedures outlined on the section of our webpage for international students.</p>
<p>But yeah, next time try Google and it’ll save you some time.</p>
<p>Im sorry you had to go through the trouble, but its much appreciated… thank you</p>
<p>So these schools are considered generous in one way or another… OH YAY, Amherst is need-blind need-based to everyone!</p>
<p>but, about Cornell, the “university funds” reference is specifically for people who arent from hong kong, the phillipines or india, right???</p>
<p>cornell also doesn’t take many international students. they took 45 out of 570 transfers from out of the US for the year of 2009, for both the fall and spring.</p>
