SSN for INTERNATIONAL applicants for Fin. AID?

<p>On the Common App, it says I must provide a Social Security Number if I am applying for financial aid. However, If I will be applying as a Canadian citizen, what should I put? Some colleges that I called told me to leave it blank (which, I think is kind of weird...) and some colleges told me to put down my "student ID number" instead. Where do I get my student ID number? </p>

<p>Also, I will be applying as a Canadian (I will mark "Canadian" under citizenship) but will send in Domestic transcripts, recommendations, and whatnot. What would I be considered as? still an international applying for Aid or a Domestic applying for aid..?</p>

<p>You are an international applying for aid (unless the college states otherwise for school provided aid). For the SSN I would leave it blank. You won’t get a student ID until you are accepted.</p>
