<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>Which are the schools the provide merit-based aid to international students?</p>

<p>PS: I know of lots of schools providing NEED-based aid, but I want to know about good schools providing merit based-scholarships.</p>

<p>Come on guys! I know we can find a few good schools for us! :)</p>

<p>So no schools give merit based aid to intl’ students? Wow, I never considered that possibility.
Anyway, thanks everybody who viewed the post.</p>

<p>There are tons of schools with merit aid. Maybe you could clarify what sort of merit aid you are looking for.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>academic, athletic, performance-based, service-related… scholarships?</p></li>
<li><p>partial tuition, full tuition, full cost of attendance coverage?</p></li>
<li><p>how competitive can the scholarships be?</p></li>
<li><p>would you be happy at a 4th tier university or are you looking for something more selective or prestigious?</p></li>
<li><p>what do you want to study? engineering would limit your options, theology might open doors at bible colleges.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I’m looking for a college that provides scholarship that covers tuition / COA - partially or fully. Scholarship that is based on my grades, scores and achievements.</p>

<p>Competitiveness? I don’t care - I should be eligible for it. 4th tier? hmm, as long as it is in the top 100, possibly top 50 of the USNWR/ Engineering ranks.</p>

<p>I’m open minded — in the sense that, I’m looking at engineering, but also at economics and psychology.</p>

<p>I suggest you check each of their websites of each of the 50-100 schools on your list yourself to see if they have any scholarship opportunities. It would be a shame if you missed an opportunity only because we didn’t know about it ;)</p>

<p>Off the top of my head:</p>

<p>Villanova, Boston University, Michigan State, Clemson, Auburn, Brigham Young, Trinity University (TX), Loyola Marymount University, Texas Christian University</p>

<p>As I said before, I encourage you to go through a list of engineering colleges and check the scholarship opportunities at each one yourself.
