<p>@squashie I did not mention need blind colleges because pretty much everyone knows the six need blind ones, this is for those looking at colleges beyond these six. </p>

22

<p>Last year, Reed gave 54% (45 out of 82) of its international student body here for four years (exchange students get free tuition, so are not counted) an average of $49,588 in aid.</p>

23

<p>Are the numbers correct for Washington and Lee cause Iā€™ve heard they donā€™t give much money? Also, are there any colleges in California that offer aid to internationals?</p>

24

<p>@smileyowl Yup its from the common data set :slight_smile:
And no, california is not generous with aid </p>

25

<p>Thank you @Ghfdw17 sooooooo much for thisā€¦!!!</p>

26

<p>@Ghfdw17 Thank man! This was great. I have only a few days left till deadline but I wanted to expand my college list. This will surely help me out a lot! Also, can you tell me from where did you get these statistics. Not all colleges display this information do they? Or have I been not looking properly and this info IS available on their websites?</p>

27

<p>@marstatic This is in the common data set. Sections B2 and H6. And youā€™re welcome :)</p>

28

<p>@Ghfdw17 I am sorry what? B2 and H6?</p>

29

<p>Also do you happen to have the statistics for Oberlin?</p>

LSU used to have automatic scholarships but they recently changed it, I think.

Washington and Lee
-Johnson Scholarship, requires additional essay. SUPER Competitive and full ride

UNC Chapel Hill

Lewis and Clark Unviersity

Please note that many merit scholarships are due about a month earlier than admission app due date.

Will post if I find others too.

By Colorado,do you mean the Colorado state university?
This list is really useful ā€¦thanks.

35

Itā€™s Colorado College that was included in the initial list at the top of this thread. CU-Boulder and CSU will give little aid to internationals.

36

Thank you soooooo much. Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been looking for.

37

Does this apply for international transfer students as well?

38

I want to know how much is left for students to pay. I think this is more important than the aid itself. For example a university that give 50k and the student have to pay 5k is a better option than a univesty that give 65k and require the student to pay 15k.

39

Um, I do think that the generous LACs that promise to meet need tend towards the same cost of attendance. Iā€™m positive that student X would have to pay the same +/- 2k at generous LAC A and B.

Sorry bu I donā€™t know what is LAC A and B ? Can you explain more?
