Questions

Which US universities give financial aid to international students?

254 US universities reported institutional scholarships or grants to international undergraduates in their latest Common Data Set. The table lists them with the number of students each one funded.

Which US universities are need-blind for international students?

Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Amherst College, Dartmouth College, Bowdoin College, University of Notre Dame, Brown University, and MIT. They don't consider your ability to pay, and they meet your full demonstrated need.

Is Washington and Lee need-blind for international students?

Several lists say so. W&L's own financial aid page says it is need-blind in its admission review, and that it gives need- and merit-based aid to about 20 international students in each entering class, without guaranteeing aid with admission.

How much aid do international students get?

The average award ranges from under $1,000 to more than $90,000 a year, depending on the university. The average for each university, the share of its international students it funds and how much of the yearly cost that covers are in the Season Pass.
