‘International Students contribute to America’s balance of payments because of money they
bring with them from abroad’• The argument is flawed:– 1. Calculations ignore the subsidies to higher education
coming from US tax dollars and endowment funds– 2. Calculations use highly questionable data techniques– 3. Stronger studies show international students make a
heavy use of US funds to support graduate education• -David North, former Assistant to the U.S.
Secretary of Labor

Suggested Action
• Eliminate tuition waiver for International students• Reduce the waiver to a partial waiver for those
who are financially needy• Increase standards for proof of ability to pay
educational costs to 4 years• Reduce the number of tuition free credits available
per semester for international students• Seek out corporate funding to offset governmental
contributions to international scholarships and aid
