Hi Guys! Do these schools offer any financial aid to international students ? And are they need -aware? I’m applying to all of them.
The regular decision deadline for international FA is coming up at Amherst, Feb 15. I don’t know specifically about their policy but if it’s similar to my school (Pomona, both LACs) then you can expect poor financial aid. One student whose parents make the equivalent of $80k per year only receives 8k per year. Another whose parents make around 100k receives none. The most egregious offense was that one student took out a 60k loan for the first year (yes he was paying full price) and couldn’t afford to come back the next year. FA office didn’t help him so he transferred to Brown. Financial aid for internationals will be significantly worse than for domestics. I don’t know about your three other schools but I am not optimistic.
