<p>D got into engineering...we are considered as international students based our L1 visa, though we have been staying in the US for the last 3 yrs.</p>
<p>Some where I remembered to have seen on their website that international students are not eligible for scholarships...wanted to find out if any one has any info on this.</p>
<p>Internationals are not eligible for need based financial aid. They can qualify for merit based awards (scholarships). UIUC and the college of engineering do give out a number of merit based awards (usually based on test score and class rank) but most of those amount to some partial tuition relief (e.g., often from $1,000 to $5,000 a year)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info...drusba</p>
<p>Also when do they notify you of scholarships? When you get the acceptance packet or do they e-mail you?</p>
