International Students

It is often believed that international (non-citizen) students are never eligible for financial aid. It is true that international students are not eligible for Federal aid. However, many universities provide their own institutional aid for international students (both need- and merit-based).

For example, according to Uni in the USA, "The main source of financial assistance for UK students, after family contributions, will be the university itself."

There are six US universities that provide fully need-blind aid to all students, including international students. These are Amherst, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, MIT and Harvard.

Famous quotes containing the word students:

    Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.
