The best aid is given by the schools. Most outside scholarships in the US are really small (one time awards of a few hundred dollars). It’s impossible to fund 4 years of residential college with those. Your best bet is to find a college that meets 100% of need for international students that is also need blind. I think there are only a handful of those. Most US students who attend college can’t afford residential college. They commute to a local community college or in state public. If you have any affordable options in your home country, make sure to apply there too.
