Are international students qualified for financial assistance to attend College of the Siskiyous?
No. International students are not qualified for such assistance. Federal and state financial aid is provided to qualified persons who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States, or eligible non-citizens from certain countries, such as Micronesia. International students are in the United States temporarily on an F-1 Student Visa, and cannot be considered permanent residents. A very limited number of fee reduction waivers are awarded each year for qualified students with distinct financial need attending COS. These are for one student per country as a diversity initiative, and the waiting list is growing! See the front page of International Programs for details.
