Need-based FA for Canadian Students

Paying for College
1

<p>Hello everyone, </p>

<p>I was wondering if you could list a few colleges that are need-blind to Canadian students other than the six colleges that are need-blind to all international applicants, and the one I know of: University of Pennsylvania. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I don't know all the details, but I have Canadian friends receiving aid at:
Princeton
Colgate</p>

<p>I know Canadian kids at tons of US schools, so need blind for admissions seems to be a non issue, but are you asking about admissions or getting aid?</p>

<p>I am asking about both. I don't want to be placed in an extremely competitive pool just because I need financial aid. I wouldn't be able to afford these colleges if I decided to go without financial aid, so I am looking for need-blind institutions. I just don't want to apply and not get in because they ran out of money for financial aid. But of course if I get in, a lot of colleges cover 100% of the demonstrated need.</p>

<p>also check for liberal arts college's, u can get financial aid at many of these (even if u are an international student), althogh it's based both on need and merit.</p>

<p>There are NOT a lot of U.S. colleges that cover 100% of demonstrated need for internationals. Virtually all that do are among the most competitive colleges in the U.S.</p>

<p>If these students are "full pay" students, this would not help the OP. I agree with NSM...this student needs to carefully check the availability of financial aid at schools. Many schools do not provide financial aid for international students at all.</p>

<p>Also, check with each school as some schools do not seem to consider Canadians in the same international category.</p>

<p>You are right, thumper, if they are full pay that info would not help and I do not know the details of enough of these kids stories to know who is paying what, except in a few circumstances. Also, many are rowers, so they have the athletic tip and at some schools a Div I scholarship.</p>

<p>Columbia does not group Canadians with internationals, and is need-blind. I think that, as Somemom says, many colleges count Canadians in the regular pool, not the international one.</p>
