Financial Aid
Do students receive financial aid?
There are three pieces of data in this table, which are designed to show
how likely it is that an international student will receive any financial
aid from the college or university.
"Undergrads receiving any aid" shows the percentage of first-time
undergraduate students who receive any type of financial aid. However,
many types of financial aid at US colleges and universities are not
available to international students—like Pell Grants, Stafford
loans and other federal loan programs.
The second piece of data, "Undergrads receiving school grants", shows the
percentage of first-time undergraduate students that receive aid directly
from the school—often this type of aid is available to international
students.
"Average amount of school grant" shows the average amount that is provided
in this category of aid, that may be available to international students.

Test Scores
What ACT or SAT scores do I need to get in?
Many colleges and universities in the US require either the SAT or the ACT,
both standardized tests that help schools evaluate candidates.
In this chart, you can see how the middle portion of students admitted to
the school fared on these tests—those from the 25th to the 75th percent
of all accepted candidates. In other words, the chart does not show how the
bottom 25% of all accepted candidates scored, and it does not show how the
top 25% of all accepted candidates scored—but it shows how the middle
half of candidates accepted to the school scored.
If you have taken the SAT or ACT, or you plan to, you can see where your
score falls in comparison to this range, which will help you evaluate your
likelihood of acceptance to this school.
