| Funding
for Undergraduate Study
in the US
Funding
for international students to pursue undergraduate
study in the US is, unfortunately, very limited. 80%
of international students studying for their first
degrees in the US are funded by their families. Whilst
aid is available from US universities for international
students, you should note that full funding is rare
unless you have academic, athletic or artistic talent.
The US Educational Advisory Service offers resources
to help you find funding for your undergraduate studies
in the US including:
EAS
Guide to Undergraduate Study in the US
You should read this first if you have not already
done so. The EAS Guide has a section which explains
more about financial aid for undergraduate degrees
in the US.
Sports
Scholarships
Talented student athletes may be able to win a sports
scholarship at a US university, which may help to
reduce the total degree costs.
Loan
Programmes for Study in the US
A listing of loans available for non-US citizens who
wish to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level
in the US.
Web
Links for Financial Aid Information
A list of other websites that can offer information
about financial aid for US study.
Off-line
Resources for Funding
The
US Educational Advisory Service's Reference Library
contains a few funding directories listing awards
for non-US citizens who wish to study at undergraduate
level in the US. Please note that the majority of
these awards will be tied to specific US universities,
US states or other criteria such as your nationality.
The Library also has The College Board
's International Student Handbook, which lists
all US universities and whether or not they offer
financial aid for non-US citizens. You are welcome
to consult these materials any time during our opening
hours.
