Searching for scholarships to study at an American college or university can be daunting enough if you're an American student. If you live on the other side of the world, receiving financial assistance to go to college in the United States may seem next to impossible.
Don't give up hope. If you're an international student with your heart set on studying in America, there are some excellent resources out there for you, too...
Like all students, you'll likely need to fund your college education through a variety of sources, including:
1. Scholarship sites: Both International Financial Aid and College Scholarship Search andInternationalScholarships.com use the same database of scholarships available to international students.
The basic search via either site is free and can help identify potential scholarship opportunities worldwide—including more than 500 scholarships for studying in the United States. Many of the scholarship criteria are tied to a specific field of study, which you can select from a handy drop-down list to narrow your search.
2. Your home country: We tell American students to "look close to home" all the time—and the same applies to international students. Your home country may be a source of funding for your international studies.
