[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As has been repeatedly said, very few schools give financial aid to international students.

However although full pay is not a hook for American students at most top schools, it absolutely is for international students, and most top schools are filling their classes with 10-20 percent full pay international students.  It absolutely is a reason domestic admissions have become so competitive.[/quote]

Correct. International students are not eligible to complete the FAFSA so they can not receive any federal, state or institutional need-based aid programs. They can receive merit-aid.

Clarification, internationals are eligible to receive[b] merti-based[/b] institutional aid if the college wants to offer it. Publics don't, many private colleges don't, but some privates do. [/quote][/quote]
Some colleges do, in fact, offer [i]need-based[/i] institutional aid to internationals. Not a ton, but several, mostly top 20s. In fact, if I recall, I listed them earlier in the thread.[/quote]

How? How do they determine need if an international student can't fill out the FAFSA? [/quote]
The CSS Profile.

You can also google a list of colleges offering need-based aid to internationals and then visit one of their financial aid websites to read the instructions for internationals.

(If you've not heard of it, note that the CSS Profile is also required for domestic applicants seeking need-based financial aid at a number of generous colleges.)[/quote]
