U.S. gives equal opportunities for a student VISA to all students, no matter where they're from. The rumors you've heard aren't true. I had a U.S. student visa and i know how it goes. However, one thing is for sure, after September 11th, you know the WTC crash, they have much more strickt rules, so you need to be pretty good to meet all the conditions and they will definitely do a background check on you.\n\nDon't let that discourage you, your english seems pretty good, i  strongly recommend you to go on and make use of opportunities that come in your way. Back in time when i was planning to continue my education in U.S. i've used COLLEGEBOARD.COM, it's the best site ever for these kind of things. It will help you with everything, choose the best university for you, the most affordable one, it will help you with schoolarships and so on. You should really try it.\n\nIt helped me a lot, i got accepted into: UCLA and Harvard University, and i used this site. At the end, i ended up going to R.I.T (Rochester Institute of Technology, NY). \n\nI benefit in others ways from this site as well, cause in this site you create a profile, and than the  info in this site is available to many scholar organizations, universities and so on. 4 months letter i recieved a mail telling me that i was choosen to represent ALBANIA and KOSOVO in the GYLC 2004 in Washington D.C. It's amazing how much opportunities this site can bring to you.\n\nAll you need to do is find 3-4 Universities that you like and apply to all of them. Than you need to pass TOEFL and SAT or ATC, submit the scores and you're done. Hopefully you'll be accepted and win a scholarship of some kind. I wish you a good luck ;)

What qualifies you to say he won't qualify for a loan?  :)\n\nThis depends on the institution he wants to attend, the program he wants to apply to, and filling out the appropriate paperwork through the financial aid office.  Being an international student may open other doors and opportunities for him...\n\nI work in a financial aid office and know it does for our international students here!  And everyone is eligible for a loan.  Even Donald Trump or Paris Hilton!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

Depends on what country you are from.  Try www.fafsa.ed.gov, however, it's very hard to get scholarships to the United States from the United States, you best chances are from your own country, and their study abroad program funding scholarships.

If you aren't a PR, you aren't eligible for federal financial aid.  I don't think your status will affect your acceptance too much, unless English is a problem for you.  However, you will be asked to demonstrate how you are going to pay the tuition.  You will probably be asked to have a sponsor in the US, who will have to provide documentation that you are being supported financially and will not become a burden to society.

Please visit:\n\nwww.ed.gov\n\nwww.about.com\n\nCall the college in which you are interested and set up an appointment for the financial aid office and write down a list of questions you have about scholarships and grants for Interantional students.  Ask all the questions you can in that appointment.  There is money available but it is like a BIG secret!!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!!\n\n\nTake care

For the SAT (I and II), simply go to http://www.collegeboard.com, click on the "For Students" link on the upper left corner and create an account, then follow the big banner sayin "Register for the SAT now", pay a fee of $64 US by Credit Card if im correct and that's it. (sat reasoning test = sat 1 and sat subject tes = sat 2 by the way).\nFor the TOEFL what i did was to go on http://www.TOEFL.org, click on the "learner and test taker" link on the left column and choose a date for the test, rest of the procedure is clearly explained on the website. \nGood Luck in both tests.\nCheers. ;)

Well, did you look into any state specific scholarships? I applied for four in my state. Banks, and local institutions might have scholarships avaliable in your town, too. I'm planning on applying to a few fastweb.com scholarships as well... Not to sound obvious, but did you check when you were supposed to hear back from the organization? Did you turn them in on time? If yes, then there is nothing wrong with calling and say "Hi, I applied for your scholarship ____ number of days/months ago, and was wondering when I should be hearing about that." As long as you don't call obsessively, there's no harm in asking.  Also, if you don't get enough of your financial need met, when the school year starts you can ask the school if there were any unaccepted scholarships/funds/grants that you would be eligible for or to apply for. Make sure you call your school about that $35K sum. Did you file the FAFSA? Is that your EFC? If it is, make sure to ask your school what their policy is on applying scholarships toward the EFC. And lastly, usually the school has scholarship, grant and loan information on their website in the financial aid section. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Here's FinAid.org's list of loans for international students:\nhttp://www.edupass.com/finaid/loans.phtml\nAnd here's their list of scholarships:\nhttp://www.edupass.com/finaid/databases.phtml\n\nYour best bet for a study abroad loan might be the ISLP loan: http://www.internationalstudentloan.com/us_citizens/index.html\n\nIt's not entirely true that you need to file the FAFSA to gat aid from *any* private financial instutition.  There are two reasons why a private loan company might ask for this: (1) many lenders want to see that you exhausted all your options for low-interest Federal Student Aid before they lend you any private aid or (2) many private scholarship [and some loan] companies want to know what your financial need is and since the FAFSA is the only ubiquitous, official way to determine this, they sometimes require the results.

Go to www.fafsa.gov   The priority deadline is March 2nd. But you can still apply. You would need your tax information as well as parent tax information. It's somewhat lengthy, but worth it. It helped me out. Are you of ethnic decent? There are many scholarships out there for people of color. I believe monster.com also provides scholarship information. Also, go to the website of several large corporations/companies, it is very likely that they offer some kind of scholarships (Coca-cola, Warner brothers, Miller Brewing Co., etc.) Do you have any particular interest? Meaning, do you already know where you want to go and what you want to major in? Look on to the school website and look in their financial aid or student life programs. They might have some stuff available. Also, if you are interested in any Greek organization, they might offer scholarships as well. My sorority offers scholarships to females going into a 4year institution, i'm pretty sure other greek organizations do the same. Research is the key. It might take time, but damn, you will get the money. My roommate my freshman year of college had applied during high school to a plethora of scholarships and although she got rejected by many, she was able to get several scholarships that paid her way through most of her years.

The general idea of in-state tution is that it is offered to students who reside in the state in which the school is located.  As an international student, you clearly don't reside "in state," and therefore will not qualify for in-state tution.  \n\nI think there may be some schools that do offer some sort of reduced tution for internation students, and some countries that provide subidized higher education will provide partial funding for students studying in a foreign country.  If your current school as any sort of career counselor they would most likely be able to provide information about any such programs.

There are some, yes.\n\nCheck out this link for loans: http://www.edupass.org/finaid/loans.phtml (particularly the ISLP loan)\nOr check out this one for other options: http://www.edupass.org/finaid/\n\nMany schools offer institutional scholarships to international students.  Don't let closed-minded people's comments get you down.  At the school I work for, we don't take citizenship status into consideration when determining a student's eligibility for our merit awards; we understand that talented students come from all over the globe. Our administration certainly doesn't consider it "a waste of money" -- it works both ways: just as our school looks good on our students' resumes, any cream-of-the-crop student (regardless of where they are from) looks good on ours.
