I want to study Fashion Merchandising in New York either in FIT Parsons or other but Im interested in knowing what kind of financial aid I could get either as an International Student (since I am from Colombia) or as a US citizen, which I also am. It would be of a big help if any of you could help me out with this!

Sabri -

You need to email the international students offices at the schools that you are interested in and get their help with this. As a US citizen you are eligible for federal financial aid (including loans) but the paperwork won't be straight forward because you and your family may not have income that is easy to fit into the standard financial aid applications. You should also check around in the bi-national community in Colombia to find out what organization(s) exist to help students there get into colleges and universities in the US. In Venezuela, the organization is the AVAA with the main office in Caracas (www.avaa.org). They may be able to help you find the right organization in Colombia.

Good Luck!

Try this link: http://www.colomboamericano.org/info_english.htm

Someone at the Colombian American Center should be able to help you out.

And for the rest of you international students, if you google "binational center YOURCOUNTRY" you should hit on a list of links to the US-YOURCOUNTRY binational information center in the country of question. This is where you should start your US college hunt as the staff there is up-to-date on any specific US-YOURCOUNTRY issues.

Hey guys!
Okay so here is my problem...
I have beein in USA for 4 years now, my family and me were granted "Witholding of removal" in september 2007. I have been working since September but my dad and sister have been before that. WE all drive, we paid our income taxes for 2007.
I got out-of state tuition, no financial aid. I have to pay 20,000+ for GMU just by living at home!! Even if I go to NOVA i need to take out a loan and I would need a co-signer to sign! I really dont know what to do, I have applied for a few scholarships but didnt get any becuase of the residency isssue!! I really need help.
Is there schools anywhere that would give me financial aid and its not too late to apply?
Any resources for scholarships regardless of immigration status? I have looked at MALDEF already..alot of them are for Hispanicstudents only or they have expired.
I plan to have two jobs over the summer to pitch in whatever possibble!
I am researching other colleges that offer international aid but alot of them are really hard to get in! I have a 3.68 with 6 AP classes and alot of extracirricular but its still hard to get in! If someone coyuld help me out!!

Hi, Im an international student from India, and looking forward to studying in the US if I get financial aid. Can anyone tell me what my chances are with an 8.5 IELTS, 2220 SAT I (770 Writing, 720 CR, 730 Maths) and 760 in Physics and MATH II each in SAT II? I have also written 2 books, of which one is currently being assessed by some publishers and agents, have won national awards in music, and scored a 95% Indian School Certificate exams. Can I apply to the IV leagues and hope to get aid?

Hi, I just got provisionally accepted to a college in the US with a $10K per year scholarship.

I'm aware that the embassy or the college won't issue a Visa if I do not have the sufficient funds in my account. Can anyone recommend an int'l student loan that doesn't require a US citizen as a co-signer?

TIA

Please be aware that the Cooper Union is very generous towards international students. It's incoming class consists of around 25 aided international students, which is a big chunk of its entering class of a little over 200.

hi every one, is there any full financing for master or phd in ECS ?

hi
i'm an international student as well but I'm also a domestic international student.
I've heard from my friends and also from a website source(I think from harvard themselves) that all internationals qualifying for aid(whose family earns less than 60k a year) could potentially get a full scholarship if they are accepted. I just want to verify if this is actually true. I've also heard that some other ivies also extend grants like this to internationals, but can anyone verify this? Thank you for your time.

asiya luv, so you mean your a permanant resident?
Aide should be avaliable to you then--
if not where does your citizenship lie?

I'm an Australian student applying to study in 2009. Im in the top 10% of my class (valedictorian of 2 of my 5 subjects, in a grade of 200), and am yet to sit the ACT's (with writting) and SATII's (US history, literature and math II), in October.

Im applying to:

Princeton
Brown
Barnard
Smith
Columbia
U Penn or Dartmouth

Are these good schools, particually Smith, as I'm planning to apply there on ED, with financial aid. (if it wasent Smith it would be Barnard, and they're stingy)

Im hoping I will get a good aid package. My parents are divorced, and Im a first generation college student. I live with my mum and her partner, and they earn $60,000 between them. Im a middle child, with two younger siblings, we dont own a house, or have any stock etc.
in fact, the only assets we have are a car and business (both not worth much). my older brother is also diasabled, and I dont see my dad.

Do you think it's likley I'lle get any aid?

Hey, guys! Anyone knows something about financial aid policy from Wharton School? I heard no one could get financial aid from Wharton School. Is that true? Thank you!
