<p>Thanks Femiluv. That is an awesome table.</p>

<p>What would be interesting to me is out of those funded international students how many are recruited athletes. One of the schools on this list - won’t say which one - has an athletic team that’s almost entirely made up of foreigners, all of them fully funded. Which leaves very few of its remaining international students with aid.</p>

<p>^ Probably only a fraction.</p>

<p>In 2008-09 about 10,000 international students were registered for NCAA Div I sports (vs 166,000 domestic students), almost all of them in non-revenue sports. For example, more than 2,000 international athletes are running track, but supposedly less than 15% of all Div 1 track athletes receive any amount of athletic scholarship at all (let alone enough that it could be their primary source of support). </p>

<p>That leads me to believe that only a fraction of the 22,000 international students who are funded primarily by their university are on athletic scholarships, but certainly a large enough fraction that it shouldn’t get neglected.</p>

<p>If anyone digs up concrete numbers on the funding of international athletes, I would be curious too!</p>
