You question covers a lot of territory & I'm sure that there are folks who have been scammed by many promising to "guarantee" students will get aid and/or scholarships for an application & processing fee. Our local newpaper is doing an expose of one woman with several fraud convictions that has been offering seminars for such things in town. I find it reprehensible, but they know there are lots of folks who want help navigating thru the complexities of getting aid & willing to pay for it.

It's really helpful of these informations. By the way I want to ask if there is any one knows about any scholarship outside available for international students? I received some merit-based scholarship but it's not enough to get me in. They advised me to bring outside scholarship. Im trying to find some scholarship from some organization or sponsor but it's pretty hard. I hope that some one can share informations about this. Thanks a lot!

Hi ppl ..

I have a problem figuring out which university will give me good scholarship/aid . I am an international student.

My stats are just about average - since i am an international .. figuring out my GPA would be a problem .. but i guess an average of B- to B

My Sat score is 2030 - 700 M , 700 CR , 630 CW

I plan to do an Undergrad degree in Mech Eng

Has anyone actually received any scholarship directed through fastweb? I was just wondering if all of this is a waste of time.

I had luck with this one:

College Scholarships, Scholarship Search & Student Loans – NextStudent.com

and they don't sell your information! I've also used FastWeb : Scholarships, Financial Aid, Student Loans and Colleges but I've received SO many e-mail offers from them. Their engine is good, just hate all the spammy e-mail.
