Who can apply: Incoming international applicants (80%+ average for 100%)

Need-blind admission for every applicant regardless of citizenship. Since the 2025–26 academic year, MIT is tuition-free for undergraduates — including international students — from families with typical assets and annual income below $200,000, and fully free (tuition, housing, meals) below $100,000.

Berea says every admitted international student receives aid that covers 100% of tuition, housing, food and fees.

A tuition-free, 100% online university accredited by WSCUC (the WASC Senior College and University Commission, recognised by the US Department of Education). Donor-funded scholarships, awarded first come first served, can cover the remaining fees.

RWTH Aachen is one of Germany's largest and most prestigious technical universities. It sits in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), one of the German states that charges no tuition fee to non-EU students — the state absorbs the cost, the same as for EU and German students. The trade-off is language: almost all bachelor's programmes are taught in German, requiring proof of German proficiency (typically DSH-2 or TestDaF 4) for admission. English-taught options exist mainly at Master's level.

TUM's MSc Informatics is a flagship English-taught computer science master's. Unlike its own tuition-free bachelor's degrees, this programme now charges non-EU students a tuition fee — TUM was the first Bavarian university to reintroduce non-EU fees.

Unlike most of RWTH's German-taught bachelor's degrees, several master's programmes are taught fully in English — and, like the bachelor's level, North Rhine-Westphalia still charges no tuition to non-EU students at time of verification.
