First let me suggest that your friend should complete his 12th in India and then proceed on this venture.It is easier to get a visa for undergraduate / graduate studies than for lower classes.\nSecondly he should have good academics and test scores in order to be considered for merit scholarship.Need based aid or FAFSA is not available for International students.\nI have discussed this matter earlier in Yahoo Answers:\n\nHere are some American universities known to offer Financial help to international students applying for undergraduate programs. You will have to get in touch with them for further details.\nCOLGATE UNIVERSITY\nNEW YORK UNIVERSITY\nBARD COLLEGE\nCOLORADO COLLEGE\nCONNECTICUT COLLEGE\nKENYON COLLEGE\nWHITMAN COLLEGE\nBUCKNELL UNIVERSITY\nFRANKLIN & MARSHAL COLLEGE\nRHODES COLLEGE\nTRINITY COLLEGE\nCOLLEGE OF ATLANTIC\nTULANE UNIVERSITY\nUNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER\nUNIVERSITY OF SOUTH\nWHEATON COLLEGE\nUNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND\nWORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE\nLEIHIGH UNIVERSITY\nLEWIS & CLARK COLLEGE\nST.

http://www.liheap.ncat.org\n\nThey provide help with paying high utility bills for low income families. Just type in your state in the search bar on the left.\n\nThe local Dept. of Human Services. Maybe they can help with getting food stamps or some other assistance. \nAlso, there's some charities that might help, Catholic Charities, United Way, and The Red Cross. In my town, the local Baptist Association helps people out with money or clothes. If I think of more I'll add them later.

In the US, we use FAFSA.  Contact your school--there should be someone in financial aid that can tell you where to look.  \n\nps I'm jealous...I want to visit Kenya--I think it's beautiful.

There are not thousands of poor, illiterate children in India. There are millions. India is a huge country full of poverty and injustice. There is no way to super-quick fix that place up. Just so you know, they are agricultrually self-sufficient. This means that India grows enough food so that everyone there can get enough to eat. The problem is that it gets held in these store houses and never gets to the people that are starving. The best way to help India is to invest money in companies that are working at building up its infrastructure. That's my opinion, anyway. If you give money to its government, that is really bad, because most people over there in government are really corrupt. If you want, do a little research on the socio-economic history of India. I learned a lot and am really excited about it.

Try for the funds in your college; the govt through the IITs might be willing to sponsor students for such activities. Otherwise, ask your friends, relatives to help you. Good luck.
