<p>I’m a bit confused by your question. </p>
<p>There are some US universities–very few, but some-which are “need blind” for internationals. That means that your family’s ability to pay will NOT be taken into account when the decision to admit you is made. </p>
<p>These colleges WILL ask for financial documentation before you are admitted. They are not going to say you can attend the college for free unless you demonstrate that you don’t have the necessary funds. If you are telling the truth about your family’s financial circumstances, these colleges are your best bet. </p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Williams, and Middlebury fall in this group. I am sure there are others. </p>
<p>Another group of schools are “need sensitive.” That means they do award need based financial aid to internationals, but in choosing among internationals, they will take need into account. This usually means that to get a full scholarship, you have to be a very strong candidate. </p>
<p>A third group of schools don’t give money to internationals at all. The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor would be an example of this sort of school. Many public universities fall into this category. </p>
<p>All of these schools will ask for financial information before making admissions decisions. </p>
<p>Merit scholarships for internationals are much rarer. However, if you have some special talent, you may qualify. </p>

That doesn’t mean they will give you enough to attend them. It does mean it is worth checking them out further.</p>
