I am so motivated to study in the US but I will need financial aid. Therefore, I wanna ask if it is actually possible for me to get lots of aid as an international student. I asked the financial office(George) whether or not my aid can exceed 50% of the tuition but they replied telling me that they are pretty firm about not exceeding 50% of the tuition when it comes up to international students unless it is a very ‘special case’.
So first, I would love to know what the special cases are. Secondly, I have a B for art and C for PE, will this negatively affect my application? Also, my school imposed a narrative evaluating system for seventh graders but I have my report cards for eighth and ninth grade. (+ only first semester of ninth grade has ended though)Additionally, my math classes are ‘math’ instead of algebra, calculus, or etc. Plus, all those schools have a test-optional policy thus, I’m not planning on taking either the SSAT or the ISEE. When it comes up to ECs, I didn’t join any varsity or JV teams. However, I am in my school’s math club I am currently the vice president of my class, joined a badminton club in seventh grade(not anymore), and have been volunteering since 8th grade. Plus, I have experience studying abroad in China for about 5 years so, I passed the HSK5. Are there any chances for me to get into the schools I am applying to with lots of aid? (a lot as in a lot)，Plus, can covid possibly lower my chances of being accepted? Thank you so very much.

在中國學習過五年，應該讀得懂中文。這里我簡單回答一下你的問題：美國私校有很多獎學金，象我所在的學校，400多名學生的寄宿學校，每年發(fā)放的獎學金約$5,000,000, 但一般不提供獎學金給留學生，不管你多優(yōu)秀。來自非洲窮國的留學生或體育特長生會有例外。

1. I would advise you to choose a school with a large endowment in order to qualify for financial aid. Without a large endowment, no school will consider you. There are many websites out there that allow you to collect endowment data, including boardingschool.com. 50% is a huge amount.
2. Typically, American students with the following situation would be considered the special case: you are unable to provide information about your parents, you are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and you are seeking only unsubsidized loans.
3. The PE score will greatly reduce your chances unless you can prove you have some physical disability.
4. As long as you don't want to prove how much you will be willing to put in such as ISEE AND SSAT, you are already ousted from the financial aid process.
5. In addition to the possibility of receiving financial aid, Covid does not influence the chances of being accepted.
Wish it would work out. -
Key questions here:
(1) What is your nationality?
(2) What is your ethnicity? -
你好，
首先你持有的是美國護照還是中國護照？ 其次，你的家庭在美國是否有報稅記錄？ 再次，你準備什么時候申請？
簡單而言，如果是國際學生，那么拿到financial Aid 的可能性極低，除非你特別優(yōu)秀，但是從你的描述來看， 有C 和 B，無論是哪門功課，這對于好學校來說，都是申請的硬傷，其次，你不想考SSAT和ISEE，即使今年是 test optional 的，你的成績又沒有非常亮眼，如何突出你學術方面的優(yōu)秀呢？
申請Aid，幾個關鍵點：
1. 不是需要 I-20的中國學生；
2. 父母有一定報稅記錄；
3. 學術成績優(yōu)秀 -
What passport do you hold? I do help student get Financial aid, but it's not very easy. Also, are you going to be a boarder or day student? I need to know more information about you to help you to apply for FA.
