US universities that gives max financial aid, scholarships

<p>Can somebody name few?</p>

<p>Need Blind, guarantees to meet need for internationals:
Harvard
Yale
Williams
Princeton
MIT</p>

<p>Berkeley, if you're admitted, and if you're awarded the Regents' and Chancellor's Scholarship meets financial need regardless of whether you're international or not. Be advised that only 253 internationals were offered admission out of the 10,000 odd total admitted students. Further be advised that roughly 200 freshmen are awarded R & C scholarships. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Rice also has 2 scholarships exclusively for internationals, (one's half tuition, the other's full tuition.)</p>

<p>wow k_twin, you're going to berkeley?
what about your brother?</p>

<p>You need to distinguish between schools that are need-blind and those that are need-aware but promise to meet 100% of need if one gets in.</p>

<p>any more????????????????</p>

<p>There are too many colleges that award scholarships (need- or merit-based) to international students to list all of them here. But on the other hand, colleges and the scholarships they offer are so unique that it won't help you much if we were to give you a random list of some colleges (e.g. Harvard might be too competitive, Olin offers only science majors, BYU is extremely conservative, WUSTL awards scholarships based on leadership, Mount Holyoke happens to be a women's college and Saint Peter's College might be too "easy" for you)</p>

<p>Why don't do your own research? As a starting point, you can use Collegeboard's college</a> search tool and search only for colleges that offer financial aid to internationals.</p>

<p>If you happen to be a very good athlete, some colleges that typically don't fund internationals might give you an athletic scholarship as well.</p>

<p>the following colleges will meet 100% of your need if you are admitted.....

<p>That is so wrong. There are only 8 colleges that are need-blind, and although most of the colleges on your list may or may not meet int'l students' needs, it won't be 100%. I may be wrong, and I truthfully hope so, but wake up man...</p>

<p>I checked all the colleges that trans_int007 lists on collegeboard website. I don't know whether their information is correct, but, according to them, average scholarship that these colleges award to international students is 35000$. It won't cover all needs, of course, but it is not bad if collegeboard is right.</p>

<p>zules01, a need-blind college does not consider your financial status in their admission decision. Quite some colleges are not need-blind (meaning admission gets more competitive the higher your financial need is) but still meet all your need according to their calculations if they admit you.</p>

<p>And then there are tons of colleges not on trans_int007's list that award merit aid to internationals, and some more that do need-based aid (e.g. Trinity University and some women's colleges - Wellesley, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr)</p>

<p>if you check each of the college sites, you'll find that all(and i mean all) meet the full need of each accepted student....it's time for you to wake up(and smell the coffee as well)........and yes there are a lot of colleges which offer aid,i haven't researched into that much</p>

<p>Well then, I still believe most colleges won't meet ALL your need but I guess I was a bit too skeptical. What I don't understand is why they all require a financial capability form if you have a need, and logically can't afford the tuition all by yourself. I'm keeping that list in mind, although I think it's close to impossible for a B+ student like myself to junior-transfer into a decent US college with financial aid.. If anyone has a list, please care to share :)</p>

<p>Does Rutgers offer any financial aid, for example?</p>

<p>Did Rutgers ever offer need-based financial aid to internationals? I can hardly imagine that because it's a public university.
The colleges on trans_int007's list will meet all your need once you get accepted. If you require $30K of assistance and the college cannot/doesn't want to give it to you, they will not accept you in the first place. Of course, colleges use different algorithms to determine your need, so one college might come up with an EFC of $5K and another one with an EFC of $10K.
Unfortunately, there is close to no aid at all for international transfer students...</p>

<p>Never mind my response about Rutgers. I thought you wrote "does Rutgers still offer financial aid". No, it doesn't offer aid to internationals.</p>

<p>That's what I thought. Thanks.</p>

<p>yes most colleges in the us offer little or no fin aid to international students studying in the us who want to transfer to another college in the us....there are a few colleges though and getting in is insanely hard(acceptances rates are way too low-example-middlebury has 3% transfer acceptance rate)....if you want a list of the colleges you can pm me</p>

<p>My university has an exchange program with middlebury, I'm interested in transferring only if I don't get a spot in any of their exchange programs (NYU, Middlebury, Brown, Duke...) but I think I'll be fine :)</p>
