International Admissions Inquiries to me
More options Apr 6 (1 day ago)

We have received your e-mail with regard to financial assistance and are
indeed sorry that our decision cannot be reversed.

The funding we have to make financial aid awards to international students
is very small, allowing us to award only about 12-15 students each
year. About 300 students compete for these awards. We use the funds to
try to achieve some diversity in the class. We realize, with regret, that
we cannot even attempt to meet the financial need of all those
international students accepted. Most of the university's assistance to
international students is provided at the graduate level. I am sorry not
to be more encouraging about other sources of aid now or in subsequent years.

We do appreciate your interest in Cornell and recognize that, as is the
reality with many other international candidates, without aid you may not
be able to attend. We hope that, given your academic achievements to date,
you are able to pursue your academic interests elsewhere.
