Notes:
A limited amount of need-based aid is available to international students. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The actual dollar value of the grant is based on the total funds available and the number of students qualifying for such aid each semester. Individual awards are determined by a thorough review of the data provided on the International Financial Aid Application and the supporting documents. The maximum annual value for a need-based grant is $3,000 renewable for the duration of the student's studies.
We encourage students from Latin America and the Caribbean countries to find out more about the Rowe fund, which grants supplementary loans, currently interest-free, to qualified individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean countries, to help them finance their higher studies or research in the United States.
