Schools in US with Financial Aid for International Undergraduate Students

Some US schools are more likely than others to offer financial aid for international undergraduate students. The lists below indicates which schools offer aid to the largest numbers of international students. The lists are based on a list originally compiled by Douglas C. Thompson and published on edupass.org. The financial aid may include scholarships, grants, loans and jobs, and often includes both merit and need-based awards.


Note that a much greater number of schools provide financial aid for international postgraduate students in the form of teaching and research assistant-ships. For information about financial aid for graduate study in the US, you should contact the schools that interest you even if they aren't included in the lists below.) If a school is not listed here, it probably does not have much financial aid for international students. However, it is worth noting that some schools may have athletic scholarships that are open to both international students and US students. The lists below does not count the number of athletic scholarships awarded to international students.
