8 COLLEGES WITH GREAT FINANCIAL AID FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
1. Amherst College
Amherst College has a need-blind admissions policy and it meets 100% of demonstrated
need through scholarships, grants, and employment, and yes, this includes international
students (and transfer international students). Besides that, the college has replaced
need-based student loans with grant assistance plus $1800 in an employment
opportunity. If a student decides to take out a loan (for other expenses, or to replace
employment), the loan will be interest-free while the student is in school, and low-interest
after graduation. Financial aid may also be used to study abroad. So, basically, you get a
great education while graduating debt-free. Doesn’t get much better than that.
2. Colby-Sawyer College
This liberal arts college located in New Hampshire offers different scholarships for
international students that range from $15,000 to $24,000 per year. These academic
scholarships are automatically granted (no separate application is needed) based on a
student’s grade point average or equivalent letter and number grades from the student’s
Secondary School Transcript or College/University Transcripts, if applicable. Scholarships
are renewable for up to four years. Besides this, Colby-Sawyer will review each
international student’s situation to determine if more financial assistance can be

provided. However, if a student decides to live off-campus (after the first mandatory two
years of on-campus living) grants will be reduced by $5,000.
3. Concordia College

based on academic ability and family need. These scholarships range up to $25,000 per

more points will automatically receive a scholarship of $5,000 per year and 24 transfer

and are renewable for up to four years. Other scholarships are available for transfer and
current students.
5. University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Of course, this list would not be complete without my amazing university. According to
the U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency List, the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette is the most affordable university in Louisiana. Not only
that, but it is among the top 10 percent of the most affordable four-year public
universities in the United States. You may be wondering how this relates to international
students, and I am pleased to tell you the university offers three non-resident fee waivers
for students from countries outside the United States. These scholarships are based on
high school GPA, SAT/ACT scores and TOEFL scores for incoming freshmen and on college
GPA for transfer students.
6. East Tennessee State University

covers tuition and room and board for four years. Finalists are chosen based on academic
record and on the strength of their applications.
