First, financial aid for international students can be classified into two categories – Need-based and Merit-based aid. Roughly, need-based aid is awarded based inversely proportional to your family income. Merit-based aid is awarded based on your merit (academic or otherwise) and does not depend on family income. Of your financial need (the difference between the cost of study and your ability to pay), colleges that award need-based aid can cover up to your full demonstrated need, whilst others leave a gap that you must cover with loans or borrow from relatives. Most colleges are need-sensitive, which means your financial need affects your admission – i.e. more financial need results in lesser likelihood of being admitted. A) Need-based Financial Aid Need-blind colleges do not consider your financial situation when deciding admission. There are only six schools in the U.S. that are need-blind and meet full-need of international students: 1) Amherst College 2) Dartmouth College 3) Harvard University 4) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 5) Princeton University 6) Yale University Need-sensitive schools that are generous in awarding financial aid to international students are (in no particular order): 1) Williams College. Williams College used to be need-blind for the last admissions cycle but nonetheless still awards generous financial aid to the very best international applicant. 2) Middlebury College 3) Swarthmore College 4) Vassar College 5) Vanderbilt University B) Merit-based Financial Aid Schools that offer merit-based scholarships (up to full tuition) to international students are (in no particular order): 1) Wesleyan University. Freeman Asian Scholars program for 11 Asian students which covers full tuition for four years. 2) University of Richmond. Full tuition scholarships to up to 12 Science Scholars, 20 Boatwright Scholars, 6 Artist Scholars, 7 Oldham Scholars (this includes room and board) 3) University of Southern California (USC) - 100 full tuition scholarships and more than 200 half tuition scholarships 4) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) - 70 Johnston Scholarships for entering freshmen 5) Washington and Lee University (W&L) - Johnson Scholarships C) Tuition-Free Colleges Schools that offer the equivalent of tuition-free scholarships to every incoming student (including international students) 1) Berea College. Preference for students from low-income families. 2) The Cooper Union. Requires a U.S. mailing address to apply.
