Financial Aid: The Reality
• Less than 50% of U.S. colleges & universities
offer financial aid to undergraduates
• Start looking early
• Research + time = more funding options
• Research colleges that give aid
• Visit your EducationUSA Adviser
• Use the Internet
EducationUSA.state.gov

Types of Funding
Plan from the beginning! Don’t wait until after the admissions decision is made.
• Two types of aid: need-based and merit-based • Need-blind admissions: full need met
• Need-based, with limits to maximum amount given
• Standard, flat amount
• Earmarked: countries, majors
• Out-of-state tuition waivers
• Private, liberal arts colleges tend to provide the most aid

Need-Based Aid: Family Funding
• The family is expected to contribute as much as they can afford.
• Be realistic
• The more you need, the more competition you will face.
• Don’t ask for more than you genuinely need

competitive than admission without aid
