<p>Here is a link to a current list of U.S. colleges and universities that offer financial aid for international students. Unlike most such lists, this provides details about the number of international students who receive aid, the cost to attend the college, and the average financial aid award for international students at each college or university. This is very useful information to have on hand when preparing a college list as it allows you to get an idea of where your chances for a financial aid package that comes closest to full cost of attendance might be if you have substantial financial need. Bear in mind, however, that all financial aid in the U.S. is based on your family's estimated family contribution -- i.e., ability to pay -- so your award could vary considerably from the average.</p>
<p>bump!

<p>hey, for you guys who didn't see the list , you need to download a software called Adobe Reader 1st.
and since its a image, you can't really copy it and post it here in normal ways</p>
<p>Why don't you suggest some names of colleges that provide aid to international transfers?? Ineed some of them.</p>
<p>no i have adobe acrobat .. i think my ISP blocks blogspot because it never opens .. i have cable so theres nothing wrong with the speed</p>
<p>Can transfer students get financial aid? I am attending Santa Barbara City College for 2 years and afterwards I'd like to transfer to a good standard California University that offers fin aid. Is there any way I could get fin aid for the city college?? it's still around $5000 a year for me :/</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me how the OACAC list was put together?
I am an educational consultant located in the Netherlands, Europe, and got in all of my clients with merit scholarships for all 4 years of study.</p>
<p>To name some of these schools which are not listed on the OACAC list and the amount they were offering per year to the students:</p>
<p>Augustana College $ 10,000
Eckerd College $ 10,000
North Central College $ 10,000
Rhodes College $ 5,000
Rollins College $ 6,000
University of the Redlands $ 10,000 </p>
<p>Some of these schools first offered zero and with a little persuasion were easily offering quite an amount between 5,000 to 10,000.</p>
<p>Hope this is helpful to other international students.</p>
<p>Stanford gives finaid? REALLY?</p>
<p>Of course it does... but to get admitted with financial aid is incredibly hard...</p>
<p>I forgot to include Earlham College offering $ 15,000 per year renewable for 4 years.</p>
<p>Ok, there's one thing that should be cleared about this list. Many schools do offer financial aid, but their application process is not "Need-BLIND" (unlike the ivy schools).
Plus, most schools only provide "limited aid" or optional "scholarships."</p>
<p>even the ivy schools are mostly not need-blind in admissions. only harvard, yale and princeton truly are. cornell's policy is kinda crappy in the sense that they admit you without regarding your ability to pay but more often than not they will not award you finaid in the end (so many end up getting in but lack the financial means to attend). as for columbia, brown, penn and dartmouth, your chances plunge dramatically once you apply for aid - especially when you apply from a country with a lot of non-aid-seeking applicants.</p>
<p>for the other four ivies you mentioned- penn, brown, columbia, and dartmouth- I am pretty sure that they provide full aid even to internationals. I know several people going to Upenn and Dartmouth from our school, and they all received at least $20,000+ aid. At least, they treat us Canadians that way.</p>
<p>i never suggested that they do not provide full aid. many colleges, these four ivies inclusive, pledge to meet full demonstrated aid once they admit the students. if you prove to be an applicant strong enough to get in despite seeking financial aid, they will award you as much aid as you need no doubt. but you need to get in first. and that, given these schools' non-needblind policy towards internationals (many schools treat Canadians as domestic students so I guess you're lucky), is an uphill task for us, aid-seeking non-canadian international students who fall a little short of the superstar status.</p>
