<p>Which mid-tier colleges are need-blind to canadians?</p>
<p>very few. carleton, perhaps?</p>
<p>Many would be need blind but few would meet need.</p>
<p>If you are a resident of Manitoba you are eligible for tuition reciprocity with Minnesota universities, including U Minn-Twin Cities.</p>
<p>Most colleges are need-blind to Canadians and everyone.</p>
<p>You may not be asking the right question. Do you mean to ask which colleges are “need blind” to Canadians AND will meet determined need?</p>
<p>If so, do you know if you have “determined need”?</p>
<p>just which are need-blind to Canadians.
if the uni’s need-blind, they won’t need to ‘reach’ a determined need. they’d pay whatever i need, if i got in, right?</p>
<p>I know that many colleges are not need blind to internationals, including Stanford for example.</p>
<p>*International Students</p>
<p>Stanford has a limited amount of financial aid for international students. International students needing assistance must make that indication on the admission application. Aid eligibility will be determined based on family financial circumstances. *</p>
<p>Under the circumstances, I am going to assume Canadians are going to be treated as internationals for purposes of admission. So if that school is not need blind for Internationals, then they will treat a Canadian the same way.</p>
<p>Nope, you got it wrong. Very few colleges are able to meet full need, even as they define it of all of their students. Even fewer do so without including loans. Even fewer than that have the same provisions for international students, which you are. Those that do, tend to be the most selective schools. That does not mean, however, that any given school wouldn’t meet your need, if you meet theirs. </p>
<p>What everyone is saying is that most American colleges are need blind, in that they accept you without any regard to what your financial need is. That does not mean that they are going to meet it. They may not meet a dime of need from their own funds, in some cases. But they’ll accept you and let you figure out how to pay the bills.</p>
<p>There are some schools that are need aware. They tend to be selective schools that want the students they accept to attend and therefore do not accept kids whose need they cannot come close to meeting. So instead of gapping you, they will reject you, if you have financial need and they cannot give you enough to go there. That doesn’t mean that they don’t accept those with need. It means that it does not go through the app process without taking need into account for at least some students.</p>
<p>However, there are schools that out and out do not give financial aid to international students. Unless there are some good possibilities in terms of merit money at such school, those are the ones you should eliminate from your list because your chances of getting any money from them is about zero. </p>
<p>You’ll have a shorter list, if you just look for those schools where you would be under at least some consideration for money, merit or financial aid, rather than looking for need blind to Canadian schools because most US schools will accept nearly anyone who meet their admission standards and they don’t care if you can pay or not. You just can’t register and go there if you don’t pay.</p>

<p>No that is not correct. Need Blind means that your need is not considered as a factor in admission. They will admit you on your merits and then determine what Financial Aid they can give you. If the school is need aware, they may not give you admission if they think they cannot give you the aid they need.</p>
<p>Many schools are need blind for Domestic (US) students including citizens living abroad. But they may be need aware for international students.</p>
<p>Even if they are need blind and give you admission, they are not obliged to give you any aid except government aid like Pell grants, Perkins or Stafford loans etc., which are only for US Citizens. If you live in Canada and are a US Citizen, the matter is different. Some schools will meet demonstrated needs (again may not be the case for internationals) but they get to determine what is the demonstrated need and how they will meet them. They can for example offer you loans for the entire amount.</p>
<p>University of Rochester is need-blind in admissions and offers both merit and need-based institutional aid (loans and grants) to Canadian citizens.</p>
<p>[University</a> of Rochester : Canadians and Mexicans](<a href=“http://enrollment.rochester.edu/financial/CMUC.shtm]University”>http://enrollment.rochester.edu/financial/CMUC.shtm)</p>
<p>While URoch pledges to meet full need for US citizens, I’m not entirely sure of this holds true for Canadians. You should email the Financial Aid Office to get a unequivocal answer.</p>
<p>URoch is a CSS profile school, so need will be determined by more than just parental income.</p>
<p>Many of the NY schools are need blind and offer scholarships to Canadian students. Although they don’t meet full need, tuition at the SUNYs is $13,515, so that may be an affordable option. I believe that Cornell is need blind and meets full need, but is difficult to get into. St Lawrence U offers an additional merit scholarship for Canadians:
</p>
<p>Nearly all mid-tier schools are need-blind to internationals (can’t think of one that isn’t). </p>
<p>However, what it sounds like you need are schools that are “need blind” and “meets need.” That is a different question than the one that you asked.</p>
<p>I can’t think of one mid-tier school that is “need blind” for Canadians (or int’ls) that also meets need.</p>
<p>So, how much can your family pay and would your family be determined to have “need”?</p>
