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:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
