<p>What colleges or universities in the USA meet 100% of international undergraduates' financial need? I know there aren't many and so far I've heard about these: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Dartmouth, University of Chicago, Columbia and Amherst. Are there any other?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that there are schools that will meet 100% demonstrated need for accepted international students. The challenge is most of them are not need blind to international students (meaning the ability to pay is a factor in admissions (U Chicago and Columbia are not need blind to international students)</p>
<p>There 27 schools: 6 need blind + 21 need based</p>
<p>A lot of school will meet 100% demonstrated need and even more for SOME accepted international student. If you are at the top of the applicant pool, the chances are better that you are one such student. At schools where everyone is clustered at the top, the chances go waaay down.</p>
<p>There 27 schools= 6 need blind + 21 need based:</p>
<p>Amherst College — need-blind
Barnard College — need-aware
Bates College — need-aware
Bowdoin College — need-aware
Brown University — need-aware
California Institute of Technology — need-aware

<hr>
<p>Also: Pomona’s policy is need-blind for all international students residing in the USA.</p>
<p>“Applications from students who are U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or who graduate from a high school within the U.S. will be reviewed on a need-blind basis.”</p>
<p>if you look at that list of 27 schools, you see that all of them are top schools.</p>
<p>If you stick to that list, you will be competing with the top of the top, in terms of students from the US and internationals students everywhere. Getting accepted to some of those schools is truly a long shot even with perfect schools. </p>
<p>No harm in giving it a try, especially if your numbers are up there, but all students should look for schools that have a high likelihood of taking them and that they can afford. Being an international students means that there are no such guaranteed schools if you are looking for a lot of money. What you have to do to bring your chances up that some school will come up with something is to look at schools that are not as heavily hit with applicants just as academically solid as you. Some school where you would be a super star. Make sure you find a number of such schools and that they will give money to international students, as it would be a total waste of time to apply somewhere that specifically won’t do it, and there are such schools. That’s where you will have less competition, be at the top of the heap and have a bit of a better chance of getting some money.</p>
