<p>Here's an interesting quote directly from the U.S. Government about scholarships for international students:</p>

<p>International students often ask advisers about full scholarships, which cover all the costs of education except for airfare. The total number of full scholarships available each year to incoming international students in the United States is about 1,000, offered by only about 100 colleges.

<p>My school offers 2 full-tuition scholarships for international students. I didn't get it, instead I got the half-tuition one (and I'm pretty sure that was because of my SAT score). BTW, my school is Illinois Wesleyan. I'm enjoying it so far.</p>

<p>My friend got a full tuition merit scholarship at Clark University (MA), and he is an international student. He has 38 IB points, but his SATs aren’t so good.</p>

<p>Okay … HBCUs (Historically black universities like South-Carolina State, Hampton, Howard, Tuskegee Universities give merit aid that measure in full tuition+room+board and in some case more… </p>

<p>Internationals do qualify to apply for such merit app mostly if they adhere to 1st December deadline of application.</p>

<p>Digging up dead threads…</p>

<p>One friend of mine (Bangladesh) got into Clark Uni (MA) with 100% merit based aid.</p>

<p>USC offers full scholarships open to all applicants, but they’re quite competitive. There are 20 places for the Mork Family scholarship, and 100 for the Trustee.</p>

<p>You should look at colleges that offer need based aid to internationals as well. I’ve been accepted to UChicago with a need based ‘scholarship’ which covers 95% of all my expenses bar airfare.</p>
