As an international student, am I eligible for Financial Aid?

All Questions

  • Johnson House (Admissions)
    The Admissions Office:
    International students are not eligible for federal aid. However, Carleton works to meet 100% of every student's demonstrated financial need. We do accept a few international students every year whose financial need is met through a combination of grants, scholarships, and loans. Learn more about financial aid for international students.

    Carleton admitted me with a full financial aid package. I was thrilled when I saw the offer and now I am grateful to Carleton for the privilege of being here with all the assistance I could ever dream of. My mother often tells me that I should always put an extra effort in whatever I am engaged in at Carleton because the school has made a huge investment in my education, it is a privilege that many would be thrilled to have.
