Researched by Jorge Nieves, Tammy Spencer & Annette Vitale-Salajanu financial awards to a small group of international students entering in Fall 2006. Please see the information under Financial Aid for International Students for details on this new policy. Students in the process of obtaining permanent residency should be aware that they cannot be considered for financial aid until they receive actual documentation of their immigration status in the country. The following is a list of acceptable documentation that establishes aid eligibility:

For Permanent Residents: 1. Permanent Resident Card (formerly Resident Alien Card): Form I-551 (also acceptable is the no longer used Alien Registration Receipt Card: Form I-151) 2. Arrival/Departure Record: Form I-94 (current) with an A-Number annotated on it with one of the following endorsements: (a) "Processed for I-551..." with valid expiration date (b) "Temporary Form I-551..." with appropriate entry information, date, and signatures 3. Home country passport endorsed "Processed for I-551" with valid expiration date For Other Eligible Non-Citizens: Other non-citizens may be eligible for federal financial aid. The most commonly presented evidence is a current I-94 with a stamp indicating specific status such as refugees or asylees. If you have specific questions about your status, please contact us.

Financial Aid for International Students Northwestern University will offer need-based financial aid awards to a small group of international students entering in Fall 2006. Citizens of countries outside the United States who apply under Regular Decision for financial aid will be reviewed as a separate group. The usual selective admission criteria, as well as the amount of financial aid needed by an applicant, will be factors in the admission committee's decision. As a result, Northwestern will not offer admission to some candidates who are otherwise well-qualified. For these reasons, the admission rate for international applicants requesting aid is substantially lower than for those not requesting aid. Only those students who apply for and receive financial aid for their freshman year will be eligible to receive financial assistance in subsequent years. There is no financial aid available for international transfer applicants or international students applying under Early Decision. U.S. citizens living abroad, permanent residents of the U.S., and other eligible non-U.S. citizens may receive financial aid from Northwestern and should follow the same application process as U.S.

Researched by Jorge Nieves, Tammy Spencer & Annette Vitale-Salajanu citizens for financial aid. Enrolling permanent residents will be asked to submit the proper documents showing their immigration status to finalize the award. International students receiving financial aid from Northwestern must still plan to contribute to funding their educational expenses. For example, students will be responsible for travel expenses to the U.S. from their home country. Northwestern University cannot assume responsibility for economic changes such as currency fluctuation, nor can it replace lost support that a student may have expected to receive from relatives, sponsors, or government and corporate grants. The Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid has the most detailed and current information about financial aid policy and further instructions on how to correctly complete financial aid forms.

International Students Planning To Pursue Advanced Degrees International students receiving need-based financial aid from Northwestern for their undergraduate degree should be aware that this funding will not continue if they choose to pursue medical school, law school, graduate school, or any other professional studies at Northwestern University. Source: http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/intl/financing/#aid Northwestern Scholarship assistance Any undergraduate student enrolled in a degree-seeking program may apply for consideration for Northwestern Scholarship assistance. All NU Scholarships are awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need and availability of funding at the time the student applies for aid. Approximately onehalf of all Northwestern undergraduate students receive NU Scholarship assistance, and recipients come from families with a wide range of income backgrounds. The chart below illustrates the average NU Scholarship amounts based on income level for the 2005-06 entering freshman class. Please note that many, if not most, of the families with higher income levels who receive NU Scholarships have more than one child attending college.

The money we've invested in the ag leaders of tomorrow has already paid dividends. Upon graduation, UAL scholarship winners have taken their place in management, government, market development, international sales and field supervisory capacities with agribusiness firms and in their own family businesses. Along with UAL's assistance, some have gone on to advanced graduate studies in agriculture. In 2006 UAL has available through the League and its sponsored health care benefit trust, United Agricultural Benefit Trust (UABT), over $50,000 in scholarship grants to help fund the education of students who will pursue careers in agriculture. Any ag student presently enrolled, or who will be enrolled anytime during the 2006/7 scholastic year in studies related to the agricultural industry should consider applying for a UAL/UABT scholarship. Only students presently residing in the United States, Canada and Mexico are eligible for the UAL/UABT scholarship program. The Requirements for applying for a UAL or UABT Scholarship: The rules for both programs are the same, with one key eligibility difference. Only an employee, spouse or child participating in the UABT health care plan is eligible to receive a scholarship from the League's Benefit Trust.
