To find out if a school offers financial aid, international students can visit the school’s website or do a Google search. If they do, the school usually requires applicants to submit a financial aid application (CSS or ISFAA). When applying, students must include proof of their financial situation, such as tax documents, pay stubs, or bank statements.
