  Financing Your US Education by Cheryl Darrup

      Boychuck     (cont'd)

     Back to FrontPage of article

A number of U.S. colleges, universities and English language programs offer primarily partial scholarships for non-U.S. students. The criteria and policies at each individual institution vary. For details, contact a school that interests you, and explain your situation

Again, use http://www.usjournal.com/_programs/show.en.html as a starting point. Click "Less than $5,000" in Category 3 for a list of U.S. campuses that may offer you limited financial aid

You may also consider studying in the USA for a short period of time. Summer Programs, Short-Term Certificate Programs, Internships or Associate Degrees require less time, so they are also less expensive than full, four-year degrees. The first five options in Category 1 at http://www.usjournal.com/_programs/show.en.html are becoming increasingly popular for international students with limited financial resources.

How much does a U.S. education *really* cost?

Because there are so many U.S. academic options, costs vary widely. Estimated expenses, per academic year, range anywhere from $10,500.00 to $45,000.00. For a complete chart of estimated expenses, please see http://www.usjournal.com/finaid.htm.

That page also features links to a number of international student
scholarship searches. But be prepared! Those scholarships are very
competitive. You may want to bookmark that site so you remember to visit it often, as scholarship opportunities are constantly updated.

One recent announcement involves a global telecommunications company, AT&T. The corporate giant is sponsoring an Asian Leadership Awards Program. All students from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, India, New Zealand and Australia are eligible to apply if they have an I-20 or an IAP 66 dated 2001 (for visa information, please see http://www.usjournal.com/visa.htm). The application
deadline is 15 September 2001. Thirty (30) awards will be presented, at $4,000 per student. Contact cheryl@usjournal.com for more information.

The key to financing your U.S. education is to learn more about all of the funding opportunities available to you. A little creativity can go a long way in realizing your dream to study in the USA!
