Colleges that offer money for international students!

This list should not be considered complete, but is a good place to start. Students are encouraged to check directly with the college for current requirements and amounts.  A note to colleges. Currently we have three categories:

Need blind: These colleges do NOT take into consideration your finances when deciding to admit you. If you are admitted, they will work with you to make it happen.

Need sensitive: These colleges do offer financial assitance based on need, but the amount you need is taken into consideration prior to offering you admission. 

Need-Generous: these colleges do offer need based aid, they tend to be reletively generous in their packages, but often expect you to make financial contirbution toward your education.

Scholarship: These colleges offer scholarships to international students based on Merit (ability), not need.
