<p>Hey, I am an international looking for schools offering need-based aid ( or as good help as possible to fully meet expenses ). I've made a big research, however I only found several schools meeting that feature. Except of Ivies, I found that
UoSouthern California
MIT
UoChicago
Williams</p>
<p>Do offer a great package. Does anyone know about the other schools offering need-based aid or just very good for internationals?</p>
<p>I know Quinnipiac can offer you up to 50% scholarship (I think) based on merit.</p>
<p>I think WPI too?</p>
<p>Have you asked this question in the International Students Forum? There should be some experts there: [International</a> Students - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/]International”>International Students - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>Duke will meet full need for a small number of international students - approx 20-25. Read the details carefully on their site - they basically split international applicants into two pools - those not applying for aid go into the regular US citizen bucket, and those applying for aid go into a pool in which only this very limited number are selected. Interestingly, this gives Duke the ability to say they meet “full need” for international students - "The university will meet full demonstrated financial need for a limited number of international students applying for first-year admission. " Although, for international students, you can bet that the selectivity will probably be much higher than their 12.9% this year for the overall class.</p>

<p>Duke is so great. Wish I got there.</p>
<p>I also found John Hopkins is quite generous for Int’ls.</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and Amherst meet full need without the use of loans for international students. Dartmouth meets full need without loans for below $75,000 for international students.</p>
<p>These schools are very difficult to gain entry though. :(</p>

<p>Berea College - that offer sounds nice. However, how would you describe the quality of the college? Recognizable enough to get a good work without problems ?</p>
<p>I don’t want to sound mean
But you cant be picky, international and with loads of financial aid need, pretty much take the offer regardless where it comes from, is better than nothing dont you think?</p>

<p>How much aid do you need?</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>How much can your parents pay?</p>
<p>If your family can only pay a very small amount, then your options are very limited.</p>
<p>I know this sounds harsh, but there are thousands and thousands of int’ls with big need who want to come to school here. There are thousands of domestic students with big need as well. There just isn’t enough aid out there. Only a very small number of int’ls get big aid to come to school here…and they are the lucky ones out of thousands who also had super stats. Most int’ls are full-pay or pay nearly all costs.</p>
<p>Will you be a graduating senior in 2011-2012 school year?</p>
<p>Time did an article on Berea College: </p>

<p>When is the OP planning to attend college?</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>I am a junior right now. I’ll need a big big big financial aid, nearly 100%
According to being picky, well, I’ve already added Berea to my list 
If you know about any other school with similar offer to that of Berea, please, submit!</p>
<p>What are your stats. </p>
<p>I’ve noticed that some schools do not include intl travel in fa computations and they also expect a student summer work contribution. </p>
<p>Few intls can come here without some family contribution.</p>
<p>Can the OP elaborate fully on what he is looking for in a school as an international student? From what I’m gathering, the OP is just looking for some schools that are need-blind and meet full 100% demonstrated need for all students including international students without the use of loans, right? There are 5 schools that do this:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Princeton
MIT
Amherst College</p>
<p>Dartmouth College also does this except they made the students take out $2,500-$5,500 if your AGI is over $75,000.</p>
<p>^^^there are other schools that have programs - see my posts (#7 and #12) in this thread regarding Berea. The schools you list are only for top applicants.</p>
<p>Although there are many other schools that meet 100% demonstrated need without the use of loans for all levels of family income, there are only 5 schools that do so for international students.</p>
<p>No, Berea goes beyond that. They meet 100% of funding - beyond calculated need. I posted that in post #7.</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>No it isn’t a top 20 school, but it DOES meet more than 100% of calculated need for ALL students, including international.</p>
<p>For a family of 4 with 2 children in college at once with family adjusted income $25,000. What would the financial aid package look like? Would it be all work study and scholarships / grants? And the work study would be 15 hours per week for every week of the school year, right?</p>
