Hello … I was looking for help finding colleges that can offer me up to 100 % scholarship min being 60% … And that offers work-study … i guess most of them do provide work-study facility though… My expected marks would be around 1350 for SAT and 95 for TOEFL i guess … Do i stand any chance without subject tests? Remember it should offer engineering courses … To be precise I am planning to do electrical engineering !
A list of like 5 universities would be awesome …!
Thanks !
Are you an international student?
And instead of stating you need 60% scholarship, it would be more helpful if you stated what you were able to pay per year.
Keep in mind what YOU think you can pay and what the COLLEGE thinks you can pay are often different amounts. This is important to keep in mind when looking at schools that award need based aid.
100% financial aid for an International would be schools which are ultra selective and you would need to be in the top 1% of your country to have a chance. I agree with above poster in that you need to specify an amount you can pay before anyone can make recommendations.
Thank you very much for the reply … Yea I am an international freshman and I am about to take my tests of SAT and TOEFL. My test results will be available to send by Nov 25.
I understand that, Any amount of scholarships would be highly valuable . I did some research on average tution fees and Room and board … I guees I can pay upto 20 percen so that I would still be needing about 80% scholarship.
So could u guys help me with colleges that can do this?
Thank you !
20% or 80% is a meaningless figure if we don’t know what number to multiply it with.
Why don’t you simply state how much per year you are able to pay.
.
Work study is a federal aid and it’s not available to int’l students.
An education visa severely limits any work opportunities.
Giving percentages is meaningless.
How much can your family pay??? Don’t give percentages…GIVE A DOLLAR VALUE
Well I consulted with my parents and the average income per year would be around $5000 … Since I am the only children attempting to join college for now … so they could manage to pay about $3000 for my study !
i am not trying to so like a jerk, but 3000 is what community college cost, and the cheap ones, states schools are around 20k+ in the U.S after room and board and meal plans. with your SAT i don’t think your in the 1 % as stated above.
Getting into some schools like northeastern, Vanderbilt, university of Virginia, are possible but none are under 10k a year none the less 3k.
That’s why I was looking for help … That was just what my family could pay … plus I could work myself a bit to extend it to $5000 !
None of those schools are going to be at the dollar figures you are quoting, sorry. You are off by a factor of 10.
that’s what the scholarships are for … isn’t it?
Even if colleges offered full rides to internationals, and I’m not sure any do, you’d still need ~$8k for travel and health insurance. I think most colleges expect some sort if student contribution too. I don’t think $3k is enough. US students whose budget is $3k would likely end up having to commute to their local community college. I think you need to look closer to home too.
i wish to study in a public or private college … if i worked i would be able to afford $8K anually i guess …
Also the scores in SAT exam matters … so isn’t there any help from anyone to find a suitable colleges for me?
There may be a few 4 year universities on the following list that offer full-ride scholarships to out-of-state students, including internationals, with your qualifications:

Check out Florida A&M University, for example.

Note: "Scholarships are awarded until the funds are depleted. "
According to the 2015-16 FAMU Common Data Set, section H6, FAMU granted institutional aid to only 17 international students that year. That apparently is for all undergraduates, not just freshmen.
You’d need to demonstrate ability to cover all expenses in order to get a visa for study in the USA.
