Who can sponsor my education if I am seeking an engineering degree and have 53 credits and a 3.80 GPA?

Ask colleges for a full tuition scholarship.

Although probably not a guarantee, you'll need the obvious high SAT scores, high GPA, a multitude of extracurricular activities, and a lot of community service. UCs also probably look for leadership and work experience, so try getting those things boosted up as well.\n\nAnd pray hard.

The school that you plan to attend should have a list of available grants and applicatuon procedures.  If not, go to  http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2005-2006/english/types-loans.htm  and you should get all the information that you want.\n\nGood luck!

When the oil business cratered in the 1980's, many engineers retrained into environmental. There were also gov't subsidies to retrain.\n\nAny engineering degree is a 4-yr degree, otherwise you are a Tech. \n\nThe amount of money depends on where you go to school. I live in Oklahoma, where the oil used to be, but where many colleges still have good curriculum. Private universities are ten times the cost of State schools, like OU and OSU, and the Junior Colleges are even cheaper.\n\nThere are many grants available. Check at your local library. At the very least, you can get low-interest loans. \n\nDon't worry about the money to get started. Just get started. You may need money to live on to attend school full time, but work on getting funding first. A free ride while attending school is what you're trying to do. \n\nThere is a reason some colleges cost more. You get what you pay for. The major schools employ the genius, while the lesser schools employ those who are just beginning, or haven't made a particular mark. You want to be taught by the best you can afford. Do not scrimp or cut corners on your education. Challenge yourself. It will reward you for a lifetime.

Did you have a country in mind? Or a specific school in mind?\n\nContact the faculty office and ask them what oportunities are open and what is the availability of funding.\n\nMy faculty of engineering homepage has info for prospective grad students.\n\nhttp://www.ee.umanitoba.ca/

I am an Engineering student. I may be able to help you.

With your GPA, college would be a wonderful choice for you, and you could qualify for several scholarships.  That would be my recommendation.

Absolutely.\n\nThe only challenge you have to face -- besides lots of hard work -- is paying for college and the time it will take to do it.  But if you are willing to spend the time and the money there are multiple ways for you to earn a four-year degree in Engineering.\n\nThe first thing you should consider is earning the GED.  This will probably not be difficult for you if you apply yourself.  Are you in high school or at community college for your studies currently?\n\nIf you are in either -- just focus on meeting the requirements and doing your best.\n\nOnce you are done with your GED, you need to focus on the areas that you do best in while you are at Community College .  This will bring up your GPA and give you a much needed boost of confidence.  For whatever subjects you are weak in, you need to help yourself by making sure that you take remedial courses to shore up your weakness so that when you take the required courses you do really well in them.  Especially for the classes that are required for you to get into the program of your choice.  \n\nIf you are not necessarily that talented or gifted academically but really have smarts when it comes to fixing things or making things or putting things together then you really should consider getting a technical vocational degree before you pursue a bachelor's degree in Engineering.  This way you will succeed in earning that Voc/Tech degree regardless of whether or not you earn the Engineering degree.  And once you are done with the Voc/Tech degree (2 or 3 years) you will be even better prepared to pursue the Engineering degree.  You will still have to do well in the traditional academic courses but most of the time students who have this background do better in learning the academics because they have a certain level of understanding for the academics from their vocational training that gives them a good foundation for further study.\n\nConsider smaller public universities that offer 4 year degrees in technology and engineering and if you can figure out a way to afford it go to a private university for your education.  They will almost always treat you better than the big public universities.  Once you get into the University of your choice, any classes that are required that you are not especially good in -- go to the smaller community colleges for to learn and get the credit for that will transfer.  Usually, the community colleges grade on the scale so you do not have to be the best -- you just have to learn the material and do the work.  At the larger universities the professors typically grade on the curve because they usually really do not care about the students or about teaching -- they teach only because they have to and not because they like it or they want to.  Sometimes, you will find a professor or an instructor who really cares about the students and or really loves teaching but this is a rarity.  \n\nThe curve system of grading keeps the professors out of trouble with the administration and weeds out all of the students who either have little talent for the subject or who are ill prepared to be studying it.  This is advantageous for the professors because they can then focus any interest they might possibly have on only the best and the brightest -- but usually they don't care about this unless you are going to or are already in Grad School.\n\nThe community colleges typically have smaller classes and are typically taught by instructors who have either been teaching for a while or who have some genuine life experience -- whereas, at the universities (at least the larger public universities) you are more apt to be taught in a classroom setting of 50 to 800 students per lecture and 30 to 50 students in a Quiz Section or "Tutorial" in which a Grad Student (unfortunately -- this usually means a foreigner whose native tongue is not English.)  While the grad students are genuinely talented and gifted in the subject that they are studying and attemp

Have you checked at the financial aid office? They would know exactly what you would qualify for. Also make sure to fill out fee waivers each and every semester. Congratulations on your sobriety and good luck with your education. You have A LOT to be proud of and grateful for!

Talk to your University administration, they might have a student visa program.

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.

Get a GPA of 3.0 or better. Ask at the financial aid office for a list of available scholarships and start applying.

Have you applied for student loans?  I, too was ineligible to receive grants because of my parents' income.  I paid for my undergraduate degree with hard work and student loans.  Pretty much anyone can receive a Stafford or Perkins loan, regardless of their credit history.  You should talk with the financial aid office of your school.  They can help you with the paperwork and inform you of your options.

You can contact the school and they should verify whether or not someone by his name graduated from the school.. \n\nI don't believe they'd do much more than that.. As someone who works at a major university I can almost guarantee you they WILL NOT offer you his grades without his permission in advance.  Many university's require students approval to release academic information to parents even while in school (most do, some will waive if student is still listed as a dependent).  I think that would apply just as much if not more so after he has graduated and left the school.  \n\nHowever, it is possible.. employers, etc will want to verify GPA and courses at time but I'm sure there is a waiver that must be provided.. \n\nYou might want to check the source below which is the Academic Policies and Procedures for that school.. if it doesn't answer your questions you can call the school and I'm sure they'd advise you..

Call your local College and ask. There are plenty of tutors looking for experience in order to receive credits, and cash.
