    Princeton University does not provide any merit-based scholarships to international students, but it offers 100% need-based financial aid to students. International students must demonstrate financial need based on family income or assets and submit certain documents such as the CSS profile, ISFAA, Princeton financial aid application, and more. There is no separate portal for scholarship application, students. The students who applied automatically are eligible for the scholarship if their family income is between INR 80L and INR 85L per year.
