<p>this topic has been covered in great detail in other posts. spend some time reading this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/151609-international-student-aid.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/151609-international-student-aid.html</a></p>
<p>The majority of schools (including most on your list) have very limited money to give to internationals and the kids who compete for that money are usually top students.</p>
<p>There are two types of money available -- financial aid (if you can demonstrate financial need) and merit aid (for top students they want to attract). Not all schools provide financial aid for international students and not all schools provide merit aid for students. That is something you can find out on your own by reading the school's website and emailing the school.</p>
<p>thanks..
but im just really confused, because on College Board,
i saw many schools give out need-based aid and/or non-nned based aid for int'l students...is this info reliable?</p>
<p>you need to check each individual school's website for their current financial aid policies.</p>
<p>At the majority of school's (including all those on your list) your ability to pay is included during the admission evaluation process -- in other words, if you need money to attend you better be one of the top international students applying. If you don't need money to attend and your parents will be paying the full price, your grades/test scores, etc don't have to be as good to get offered admission.</p>
