Five Resources to Fund Your Study in U.S.A.

Education has become costlier than ever before. So, it is not possible for all the students to afford the

fee of high school or graduation (especially that of the U.S.), so they need help from outside. Be it an

international student or a native resident of U.S., there are some institutions that welcome such cases

and render a helping hand.

Let us now discuss few of them as mentioned below.

FINANCIAL AID FROM HOME COUNTRY

People do not call their nation ‘motherland’ for nothing. It is one of the biggest support system when it

comes to arranging the finances for studying abroad. Contact any nearby educational advising center to

get the required information about the local support system. But, their condition is that the candidate

has to return to the home country once he/she finishes his/her education. Also, there are some

scholarships awarded by the universities of U.S.A. that require the candidate to be nominated by the

government. So having the contact information of the government’s support system is a must.

FINANCIAL AID FROM INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS

There are few reputed international organizations that offer funding to the graduate students for

studying in the U.S. like United Nations (UN), The Organization of American States (OAS), International

Maritime Organization, World Health Organization, etc. These scholarships hold exams like TOEFL, GRE,

GMAT etc. Also, the scholarships are not given for all the courses so it is recommended that the

candidate should personally check about it.

AID FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

The best example of this financial aid is a scholarship named Fulbright Foreign Student Program. It is

eligible to all the universities of USA and academic institutions. Be it a student or young professional or a

great artist, this is a great financial aid. It encourages the students from all disciplinary backgrounds to

apply for the scholarship. Every year the scholarship is received by approximately 4,000 students.

Anyone can apply for this financial aid as the scholarship is open to all students from as much as 155

nations.

AID FROM US EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

In some cases, US schools/universities have direct exchange programs with their counterparts in foreign

countries. For that, one can contact the local varsity. Support is also provided often in the form of

teaching assistantships and research assistantships, the details of which are given on the college/

university website.

AID FROM PRIVATE US ORGANIZATIONS AND SPONSORS

There are several brands that offer the scholarships in terms of competition, Coco- cola, Nike, Dr.

Pepper, to name a few. These brands hold regular competitions in literature and arts to help all those

who are in need. So, one needs to search when and how to apply for them.
