Foreigners often get more aid at Ohio colleges
The Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio — Graduate students from other countries get state financial aid at a higher rate than Ohio natives because they are more likely to enroll in programs that offer fee waivers and stipends, a report said.
Nearly 80 percent of international students get some sort of state subsidy to study at Ohio's graduate schools. About half of Ohio-based students get such aid, said a report Friday from the Board of Regents staff.
Overall, international students made up 14.5 percent of the state's graduate students in the fall of 1997. But in engineering, computer science and mathematics, they made up more than half.
Some regents are concerned that foreign students take advantage of affordable education in Ohio, then return to their own countries without teaching, conducting research or finishing theses.
The report said the University of Toledo had the highest percentage of international students among its graduate students, at 22.6 percent, followed by Ohio University (20.8 percent), Ohio State University (18.5 percent) and the University of Cincinnati (18.3 percent).
