- July 13, 2009: Financial Aid for Undergraduate International Students
In order to support the enrollment of international students from diverse backgrounds, Cornell University has modified its financial aid program for undergraduate international students.
Beginning in Fall 2010, financial aid funding that had been limited for Canadian and Mexican undergraduate students will be used for all international students. Currently, Cornell spends about $5.5 million dollars on financial aid for Canadian and Mexican undergraduate students and about $2 million dollars on financial aid for all other international undergraduate students. When the new policy is implemented, all international undergraduate students will be eligible for financial aid funding that had previously been allocated specifically for Canadian and Mexican students and other international students. This new policy will allow Cornell to enroll undergraduate international students from a broader range of countries, and will apply to all new international undergraduate students beginning in Fall 2010. Canadian and Mexican students who matriculated at Cornell prior to Fall 2010 will continue to receive financial aid under the policy that was in effect at the time of matriculation.
