Institutional need or merit based aid. [b]Internationals get full rides to University of Southern Mississippi because of GPA + test scores. [/b]Some get full rides to Harvard and Yale because of need based aid.[/quote]Are you sure that's not graduate TA or RA?[/quote]

DP.  Of course.  My super-stellar friend's kid in Asia got full rides to Penn State, U. Mass Amherst, U. Colorado in Boulder, U. Arizona and a few other state schools and called to get some perspectives on which one to choose. She's spectacular-if she were American and full-pay she would be a HYPSM admit easily.  [/quote]Are you sure the kid doesn't have US citizenship?[/quote]

Positive.  All these people saying international students don't get undergraduate financial aid are ignorant.  The cream of the crop international students get scholarships to Tier 2 schools, are standouts there, and then become PhDs teaching your kids at American universities or titans of industry.

Scholarships are NOT financial aid.  FA is funding from the US government...and they do not get any $$ from the US govt (or loans, etc).  It's up to each school if they want to offer merit/grants to a student, be it US citizen/greencard holder or International student.
