APPLY FOR AID - INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Smith College awards need-based aid to non-U.S. citizens, both first year and September transfer applicants. Please note: International transfer students who are applying for need-based aid may not apply for January entrance.  The pool of international students is highly competitive and the level of support provided from the college ranges widely, depending on particular family circumstances. Aid is determined based on the information provided by the family on the Financial Aid Application, along with tax or income statements.

A non-U.S. citizen eligible for aid is offered a grant award in the first year that is guaranteed to remain at the same level each year she is at Smith. (Loan and campus job amounts, which are part of the total aid package, will increase per year to partially offset increases in room and board).

U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and Canadian residents must reapply for aid each year.

Apply for financial aid by the deadlines to qualify.  Do not wait to be admitted to the College before applying for aid.  International applicants to the College who do not apply for aid prior to admission are not eligible to receive institutional aid from Smith at any time.
