<p>Hiii … I am an International student planning to take admission at a US College in Fall 2012.</p>
<p>I was checking the news … and there I read about the debt default and downgrading of US credit ratings …</p>
<p>Will it affect the scholarships for international students or increase the tuition rates ???</p>
<p>Or the situation will become normal till Fall 2012 …</p>
<p>I am really worried coz I want to fund my studies through partial scholarships … PLEASE HELP …</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Any scholarship that you’re awarded would be with institutional funds. Are you planning on borrowing money for college? I don’t think you an do that here unless you have an American co-signer.</p>

<p>Do you mean merit scholarships? Only some schools give merit scholarships to int’l students. Which schools are you looking at and what are your stats (GPA and test scores)?</p>
<p>Or…do you mean need-based aid.
Not many schools give need-based aid to int’ls as well…and those that do will look at your family’s income and assets to determine how much your family should pay.</p>
