Look into Juniata. It’s a school that likes international students and does have some scholarships for them. I think you would be attractive to them since you’re international but without the visa issues. It’s a good bet you could get admission but a long shot for large enough merit but worth a try. They’re pretty solid for academics and the people I know who graduated from there have loved their experience.
Last year a few students here were awarded significant merit at UofLouisiana Lafayette. Room and board costs less than most northern or urban schools. When seeking out schools look for the regional schools not the flagship (usually) they’re less expensive to begin with and want to attract strong students. Good luck!
