Yale University. . .

International students have made their way to Yale since the 1830s, when the first Latin American student enrolled. The first Chinese citizen to earn a degree at a Western college or university came to Yale in 1850. Today, international students make up nearly 9 percent of the undergraduate student body, and 16 percent of all students at the University.

While Yale appears to offer several campus scholarships, for the most part the university emphasizes 'outside' scholarships, which are listed on this page. Also, it might be worth your time to go directly to the department website for Yale (for example, the School of Law or the School of Medicine) to determine if there are any school-based scholarships available.

University of Connecticut. . .

The University of Connecticut is a research intensive university, a prestigious designation shared by only the nation's top higher education institutions. It has more than 70 focused research centers where faculty, graduate students and undergraduates explore everything from improving human health to enhancing public education and protecting the country’s natural resources.

There is a decent page addressing funding issues, although there does not appear to be a separate page devoted to international students.
