<p>UIUC does give scholarships to undergraduate engineering students who demonstrate need. I do know this for a fact. They accept couple students from my son's school every year they were accepted with scholarships.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention that we live in Mexico so most students at my son's school cannot afford American Universities unless they get scholarships. Most students got scholarships to various schools like MIT, Georgia Tech, UIUC, Carnegie Mellon, Etc. including Ivy leagues. Usually the best aid packages come from Rice University in Houston.</p>
<p>There you are mexican. Policies for you are different :)</p>
<p>Wesleyan offers two Freeman scholarships each for 11 Asian countries covering full expenses for four years. You just have to be very good.</p>
<p>I am not Mexican Ajayc, I am Indian there are so many of us around competing for limited scholarship money. Indian students at my sons school got a substantial scholarships to UIUC, UMICH, UChicago and Carnegie Mellon. The Mexican students, Latin American. Japanese and the Koreans also did very well in the scholarship department at Rice, UT Austin and various ivy league and Tech schools. But then again maybe it is easier to get the scholarships applying from Mexico we had admission officers from the above schools visiting Mexico to recruit students. I would suggest that if you have an opportunity go to one of these presentation it will give you an idea of what each school is looking for and meet your regional admissions officer so that he or she can put a face to your name. After all these are the people who usually read your essays and know the kind of school you come from. Who knows maybe she can be a good advocate for you and r the unique academic perspective you would contribute to enrich that campus. Again good luck and may the scholarship gods smile on all the internationals.</p>
<p>Again, I never got an answer to "How good is Cincinnati for Engineering?"!....:(</p>
<p>I don't know how good Cincinnati's undergrad engineering program is but their grad program is ranked 78th in the country by US News.</p>
<p>P.S. I just noticed it's out of 79...</p>
<p>^rofl and they don't waive off app fee. :S</p>
<p>what other universities (aside from UC) want not-the-best-but-good-enough internationals who need a lot of aid?</p>
<p>I guess my question is the same as ^^^!!</p>

<p>I have dual-citizenship (neither are American), and I am biracial.
I have lived in 4 countries so far. Well, I don't really remember one, but I really remember and like the other 3 places. And that would increase my chances of admissions? For real?</p>
<p>It wouldn't increase your chances per se; it would just make you a much more interesting person, a person who could bring lots of diversity to campus. And I do suppose that helps :)</p>
<p>Oh, that's a nice information to know. Thanks! :)</p>
<p>I was just stating a fact, but, hey, you're welcome :)</p>
<p>we should be glad enough that the us unis are willing to give aid to us.. at least there's hope for us.. look at those uk unis, they give nothing to ordinary students like us..</p>
<p>ajayc: I can't find the full-tuition scholarship information at University of Cincinnati, North Dakota State University on their websites. any chance you have a direct link?</p>
<p>preciouspurple11 here is the link
Undergraduate</a> Admissions, University of Cincinnati</p>
<p>Ok, i found the University of North Dakota interesting, as the tuitions and fees for International students are not that expensive. Plus after 9 month we can work off campus. And they give a scholarship that covers 50% of tuition and fees. I think it is interesting. NDSU</a> - North Dakota State University
But I want to know if there is States like Oregon that don't charge Out of State and Out of Coutry fees?</p>

Are you sure? Eligibility rules for employment for foreign students are set by Immigration, not by individual universities.</p>
