<p>So my upcoming senior friend-international student in the US-told me that</p>
<p>Ivies and such schools give free money to students with income under 120k? (he makes around 120K)</p>
<p>Do you think its possible for him to get full ride in Ivy leagues? I m kinda worried. He's a single child.</p>
<p>Financial aid policies vary greatly between different universities, even within the Ivy League. Harvard might expect his family to contribute 10K/year and Cornell might want 30K/year. He’d probably qualify for financial aid but not a full ride.</p>
<p>Here’s a snippet from Harvard’s Financial Aid Initiative, which reflects the best-case outcome for middle class families:</p>

<p>That’s what I thought…I was doubtful about the information he told me. I was worried because I went through all the fin aid stuff and wanted him to know more accurate information/</p>
<p>Actually, only 6 schools meet need for internationals, no?</p>
<p>Aehm… no.</p>

There ARE many other school that claim to meet 100% of need, except they are need aware, which means it will be super hard^hard to get fin aid. BTW I just remembered my int friend who got full ride to Bryn Mawr.</p>
