A US education is very expensive. Tuition, room and board at an
undergraduate institution will cost
from $15,000 to $40,000 a year, depending on the school. A graduate
education can be even more expensive.
There is very little financial aid for foreign nationals to study in
the US, with the
possible exception of citizens of Canada and Mexico. Most grants,
scholarships, and loans from public and private sources are restricted
to US citizens.
As a result, international students will find very little
information about financial aid for international students.
This site presents more information
about financial aid for international students than any other publication.
This information originally appeared as part of the
FinAid site.
Below you will find a description of how to access what aid is
available, and a discussion of some of the problems you may encounter
as you pay for a US education.
US students interested in obtaining funding for study abroad should
see FinAid's
Study Abroad and Foreign Study Programs section.
The bottom line is that there is very little financial aid available,
and many international students do not study in the US because they cannot
afford the expense. This is especially true for undergraduate education.
