All right. So this is a need based financial aid at Columbia University 2024 2025
0:06
This is for bachelors students. It's in Columbia University, United States. It's a very well known university
0:12
It's full funding, meaning it covers more than tuition fees. And we're going to see that
0:16
Basically it covers everything um eligible nationalities, all of them eligible subjects
0:22
all of them, all of them that are offered at the university obviously
0:27
And we have the deadlines here admission and school trip deadline. So basically this is a financial aid
0:35
We've seen a couple of those uh in recent weeks, um recent months actually
0:40
So basically a financial aid covers 100% of your demonstrated financial needs
0:46
What does that mean? What is demonstrated financial need? So basically you give
0:53
you give the university quite a lot of information about your financial situation about your parents
0:58
like text um information, income and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
1:02
So the university says, ok, to be able to study in Columbia University
1:08
you need, let's say $100,000 a year. All right. And from the
1:14
from the inform information you give us from the documents you give us, we can see your family can contribute about $60,000
1:21
So uh we're gonna give you the rest of that amount like the the the remaining $40,000 that is your demonstrated need
1:30
And the university covers 100% of that. So it covers the amount of money that you would need
1:37
that your family cannot uh cover so that what it means. So the university again
1:44
a very well known university um in New York, Columbia University, about 31,000 students and four scholarships as well
1:54
Um We can look into these, this is just like four undergraduates
1:57
they just have one which is full funding for graduates, they have some more
2:04
but they're all partial funding. So I guess this is the best one
2:09
We have a video as you can see on our youtube channel, you can just click here and watch the video explaining like how to
2:16
apply into this university as well. We have the deadlines here and as you can see
2:20
tuition fees are quite high like $60,000 per year. Um is like the higher end of what we just
2:30
what you would see in United States as well. So like even for United States
2:34
this is quite expensive. And if you want to see what the university is again
2:39
it's a very well known university. So, yeah, here it is, this is so
2:49
it's literally in Manhattan, like one of the most expensive places that you could live uh in America on
2:58
Earth. Really? Um So yeah, this is a school again. If you want to study in the United States
3:07
it's a very competitive school. It's a very difficult school to get in
3:11
But yeah, if you can make it, they will cover uh pretty much everything like every uh everything you
3:20
cannot afford basically. So the scholarship um we have no eligibility criteria actually just need to be an international student requesting
3:30
financial aid upon submitting their application admission application. So if you go and see our like see
3:39
this video that we have to have to apply. Uh In fact
3:43
I'm planning to do a tutorial for Columbia University pretty much the next week
3:50
next uh Wednesday, uh like an application tutorial that will take you from 0.0 to the point where you need to pay your application fee
3:57
So in the middle of like uh going through that application, you pretty much tell them you need financial aid
4:05
So uh request financial aid and that's pretty much it. You don't have to do anything else
4:11
But of course for that, you will need to give them quite a lot of tax information
4:15
provide text documentation, provide application materials by the required deadlines and fill out the outside scholarship and external payment form and fill out a CS
4:23
S profile. So, CS S basically is um uh this is a platform
4:33
that you can wait. What Yes. Yeah. Where is it? College board
4:41
Yeah, here it is. So this is uh a platform that a lot of students use to um apply for scholarships
4:50
and financial aids each year. The profile amongst access to more than $10 billion in nonfederal aid to thousands of students
4:58
So you create your application, you create your profile here and then you can apply to a lot of uh financial aids
5:04
So uh you need to create a profile basically for pretty much every financial aid that university like like this type of financial aid uh
5:13
that universities offer, you will need that CS S profile. We have deadlines here
5:20
As you can see, we have like nine questions and nine answers
5:24
All of them by young Lee. Again, I cannot stress this enough
5:28
Every question that you might leave in our comment section are answered by the him and none of them go unanswered
5:37
So you can click your official scholarship page to learn more. Um Not much to see
5:46
Basically they are saying pretty much the same thing. Uh One thing is important
5:51
First of all, it's 100% of demonstrated need. Not every university does that
5:56
And also the more important part is the Columbia admission process is largely the same for all students
6:01
regardless of citizen citizenship and residency. But um international students are evaluated in a need aware manner
6:10
So basically a university can be either need blind or need. We usually they are need blind for domestic
6:20
students, need we for international students. What that means is um, if universities need blind
6:27
they take your application and they do not care if you need uh financial aid
6:33
they uh assess your application just as it is. So, um if you need financial aid
6:40
they do not say ok, um this person is really good, uh like good grades
6:45
pretty much everything is great, but um they also need financial aid
6:50
So maybe we will not admit them to our school. They do not do that
6:54
They just basically when deciding to whether admit you or not to the university
6:59
they do not care about the fact that you need financial aid being need aware is the opposite
7:05
Uh So like basically the university also keep in mind that uh keeps in mind that you might need financial aid
7:12
So maybe that would um hinder your chances of being admitted, admitted to the university
7:18
So this is ne where most universities again are need blind for in for domestic students and need aware for international students
7:26
There are some universities that are also need blind for um international students as well
7:32
So yeah, that's pretty much it. Um this is need based financial aid at Columbia University for 2025. So 2024 and 2025
