当前，中国留学生的主要留学目的地仍然是美国。但对于中国留学生们这些又肥又大的羊，如何对待才好的？必不可少的学费是必须的！以往中国留学生群体以研究生为主，大多数学生都还有奖学金可以申请。但现在留学向低龄化发展，以本科为主，高中为辅；在这两个阶段，基本上所有的美国学校不约而同的都以收取学费为录取结果，当然少数几所学校除外。但是还是有一些学校会大发“慈悲心肠”，它们会给部分留学生奖学金。当然，留学生人数比例或奖学金比例不一而论，但总聊胜于无。USNEWS根据历年来的奖学金发放结果，总结显示某些学校发放比例相当之高。希望对某些暂时有一点点困难的家庭有所帮助。当然这只是统计结果，并不能代表绝对最后的结果。
Many prospective college students apply to a public school with the hope that it will cost less than a private one. But applicants who are interested in public schools outside of their home state should understand that they will likely be charged higher tuition rates than in-state students.
Out-of-state students are also generally less likely to receive merit scholarships, meaning non-need-based aid, than in-state candidates; so in addition to facing a higher sticker price, they also are less likely to receive a big break on tuition costs.
The reason why public schools show a preference for in-state students is that these institutions are funded, in part, by tax dollars and subsidies from the state, so the primary mission of these schools is to educate state residents.
There were 154 ranked public schools in the National Universities category of the Best Colleges rankings that reported data on merit aid to U.S. News in an annual survey. National Universities are schools that offer a variety of undergraduate majors, plus master’s and doctoral programs.
In fall 2017, the average proportion of out-of-state undergraduates who received merit aid at these schools was 31.6 percent.
However, that average amounted to 79 percent among the 10 public schools that offered non-need-based scholarships to the highest percentage of out-of-state students.
These 10 schools also tended to dole out more scholarship dollars to out-of-state students, with an average merit aid award of $13,265. That’s over $2,800 more than the average amount of merit aid given to out-of-state students at all other ranked public schools: around $10,450.
Below is a list of the 10 public National Universities that offered out-of-state applicants the best odds of winning merit scholarships. Unranked schools, which did not meet certain criteria required by U.S. News to be numerically ranked, were not considered for this report.
| School (state) | U.S. News rank | Percentage of out-of-state students receiving merit aid | Average merit aid award to out-of-state students |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bowling Green State University (OH) | 215 (tie) | 91% | $10,619 |
| University of Hawaii—Manoa | 157 (tie) | 87% | $18,856 |
| Utah State University | 205 (tie) | 84% | $14,554 |
