My cousin in India needs help!

<p><em>i already posted this message on some other threads, but i thought i would start a new one just in case</em></p>

<p>Would anyone here who got FULL TUITION scholarships be willing to contact through email my cousin in India. He is beginning his college application process and since i live in America i know less about the international process than any of you. Any advice or information you can give him that you think will be helpful will be appreciated. He is only looking to apply to schools that can offer him Full Tuition Scholarships. PM me if you can help!...thank you</p>

<p>Ask him to create an ID on college confidential and hang around here....</p>

<p>and I don't want to sound rude or anything, but posters here visit a lot of threads...so posting your query on one thread, is quite sufficient :)</p>

<p>Anyway, the colleges that offer need-based aid (which will mostly award full tuition if your cousin cannot pay much) are -</p>

<p>1)Harvard
2)Princeton
3)Yale
4)MIT (I'm not sure abt. this)
5)Williams</p>

<p>I think there are more....Most other colleges offer merit aid, which means you may/may not get full tuition depending upon your stats, cs etc.</p>

<p>as mercurysquad said, ask your cousin to create an ID and hang around.</p>

<p>You might also want to visit the Financial Aid thread and search the archives</p>

<p>gandalf, there are many other colleges offering need-based aid, as in, they cover 100% of your demonstrated need!
Those you mentioned are, along with Middlebury, the only US institutions which are need-blind in admissions for international student, quite a different concept.
Just an empirical observation:
Most US News Top 25 Colleges are not need-blind, but offer need-based aid to around 20 students per year each (of which 10 may enroll).</p>

<p>i think most of the top LACs are pretty generous in aid...</p>

<p>have you tried searching for intel fin.aid? I've seen SO many threads, posts about info on intel finaid. so many.. So many people asking for full-intel aid, and the same info gets circulated around every week or so..
I remember posting a long list on how many students get aids in each university and stuff. And carolyn has provided so much info as well..
Sorry if that sounds harsh but there are heaps of info on cc!</p>

<p>thanks for the advice...i thought it would be good for him to be able to ask people specific questions. i told him to create an ID but i dont know if he has already.</p>

<p>Yeah kams1086, CC has been the biggest help so far - ppl answer specific questions as best as they can. So make sure he posts all his questions here. It is always better to ask a group rather than one individual.</p>

<p>ha, right i know... im just worried about his internet capabilities... hopefully he will join Asap</p>
