If you hate preparing tax returns, balancing check books, examining financial records or merely filling out forms you will truly despise the process of applying for financial aid to support your kids in their bid to go to college. Nevertheless we are all grateful for the schools which do give financial support to students especially in the case of international students. So it will be important to grit your teeth and delve in because for the sake of your child’s future, it is an opportunity that you cannot afford to lose.
At schools which offer need based awards to international students ie. those students who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States, the student and parents are required to complete the International Student Financial Aid Application(ISFAA). This form can be purchased on the college board website or it can be downloaded for free from the website of colleges that offer need based aid to International Students. Some of these colleges are: Williams, Middlebury, Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Amherst and MIT.
