Most scholarships are available for college students, so if you are planning on going to high school, I don't think there are that many available, but you can always contact study abroad agencies and see what options you may have. \nFor a directory with scholarships and study abroad agencies links, check out this site: \nhttp://www.macquil.com\nGood luck!

I like the programme well did until this year, but thats another story.  If u feel u r strong, u dont have any skeletons in yr cupboard, u dont have young kids i.e. school age, u aren't too sensitive, u aren't fat, ugly if u r any of these dont go for it.........your life would become hell.  Your kids would go thru hell at school.  If u r confident and self assured u stand a better chance.  If its what u really want to do then go for it, knowing all the pitfalls, and good luck to u\nbtw......i wouldn't go on it for all the tea in china.

it depends on your IQ and emotional quotient and to which class you belong . if your parents can afford and you want to gain fast bucks, computer engineering is the best or you have intentions of serving the society become a doctor. or there are several other courses like physiotherapy, hospital management, hotel management,bsc , speech therapy and special education.bpharmacy is another course after completion of which you can get visa to the usa very easily

None.  As a Minor, you have the right to listen to you parents, go to school, study and do what other kids are doing:  learning the skills and info needed to become contributing members of society.  Regardless of country of origin, unless your parents had their rights stricken, they are presumed to be competent and raising you properly. \n\nYou should thank you parents for caring enough to be interested in your life.  I've been on my own since 17 years old, (I am now 28) and I wish I could have had my mom that interested in my life.  Now, with my parents passing, I am left to remember those times.\n\nLegally, as long as you are an unemancipated minor, you get to either follow their rules, or get punished.  Should you rebel by skipping school and such, you will be forced to attend, if noy locked away, forcibly schooled and otherwise regulated until you reach adulthood.\n\nTo become emancipated, at least generally in the US, you need to prove that you are both able to take care of yourself financially, scholastically and generally.  Quite hard, considering most kids get paid crap, don't like to save, and can not be trusted to go to school for themselves.\n\nAgain, give your folks a big hug and a kiss and thank them for taking a proactive stand in your life.

You definitely will need backup documents from your current school regarding your placement, when you come to the United States. Even then, you may still be placed with your same-age peers (highly intelligent students in the US are now, generally, provided enrichment and acceleration in their chronological age classroom, rather than being accelerated to sit with older students). However, you should, regardless of what grade level you are placed, also receive immediate placement in Gifted programming. Some states require IQ/achievement/creativity testing documentation and an Individual Education Plan (IEP) through special education. Others have separate programs that are easier to get into. Parents are the strongest advocates for their children, and must be prepared to spend quite a bit of time at the beginning getting a proper program set up. Good luck!

That would be a foreign-exchange program.  Most usually your school counselor or church would either know of a local program or could get you in touch with someone that could aid you in your quest.

Travel to Mexico, Jump the border into the United States illegally and try to get caught. Once caught, tell the authorities that you are a citizen of Holland. The US will fly you there and probably pay for your college and maybe even your children's and grand children's college too. It's worth a shot.

There is a specific section that is featured on fastweb today about international grants and scholarships.  \n\n\nYou should also check with a financial aid advisor where you attend school.  Some schools also have international student clubs and departments that specialize in resources for the international student.

hun, your happiness is key. I personally think you are showing a great amount of maturity in looking at this from the perspective of the future, weighing pros and cons.\nYes, you could get a scholarship if you are good enough, but you must also take in to consideration the schedule. Even though I am a homeschool mom, I do not live in a protective bubble like some people think we do, and I know tons of public and private school students. Those that are involved in high school sports or band or things like that are VERY busy with practices, games, clinics so on and so forth. BUT, they are committed to it. They want to be that involved and they want to do those things as long as they can, and they are hoping for scholarships so they can do that particular thing through college.\nThe highschool softball team in my city is very competitive, and it is very involved in our community, as they conduct clinics for our Little League and girls softball league teams.\nKudos to your parents for raising such a bright individual.\nYou do what you know is right for you.

Are you a senior graduating this year, or are you already in college?  When I was in high school, I made EXTREMELY good grades, but I didn't receive many scholarships (a combo of 3 for my freshman year), so it was kind of discouraging.  The competition between seniors for college scholarships is so intense, it's sometimes ridiculous.\n\nThen, once I was in college, I kept making good grades and applied for scholaships for continuing students the next 3 years I was in school.  These are the scholarships you have to go for if you're serious about getting free money.  APPLY EVERY YEAR.  If your grades are where they should be, you will receive money.  A bachelor's degree is not cheap, but I managed to get out of school with no student loans to repay.  Just keep your grades up and remember that scholarships are for everyone, not just incoming freshmen.

If you really want to go, and you're going for the right reasons (the top education, not to get away from parents), then make plans to fund your education on your own.  Find out about loans, grants and scholarships.  If you don't get help from your parents, you may have a good chance at grants and scholarships.  \n\nThis is about you becoming a full person.  Pursuing life, independently and for good reasons, is a good way to grow as a person. It's also a good reason in itself to try.

To be able to help you, I will ask about your country of origin. One thing that you should know is that you will not get a study abroad scholarship in the USA unless you are interested in a four year program or transfering to a four year program. In that case you need to take your SAT score really high, show them that you are a genius and then some of schools may offer you scholarships. Thst is true only for private institutions. Public schools!! just forget about those.\nThe right school will depend on the quality of your application and your ambition. In America you will find schools for every taste. They are located in big cities and some in rural areas, some follow a semester structure, other will choose quarters. Some schools are classroom oriented (research universities), others are more for real life practice, if you know what they mean by that.\nAnyways, you need to answers a lot of questions and I can better help you.\n\nGood Luck

Take your time at figuring that out. Life experience will let you in on that. Have you tried different types of volunteer work? Church groups can expose you to different stuff also and both look great on a scholarship app. Check into those things and maybe it will help. Give yourself time to be a kid and grow up. You only have that once and you never get it back when it is gone.

I think Scholarships are only given if you have 'proven exceptional talent'. You would have to be real good and other people like your sports teacher would have to recognise that. If you are good, he will probably call a scout in to look at you. I am presuming that you play for a club. The American system is extremely competitive and difficult. You better be the next Michael Jordan, or close...Good luck!!
