So my dad just said he won’t be funding my education anymore (his buisness collapsed), so that basically means I cannot go to any college even in my country.
I want to pursue environmental engineering with a minor in data science.
Is there a way to pursue them in an online manner, that could be of an affordable cost maybe like 300 or 400 dollars at max.
Free college in Germany, Norway, Argentina, and other countires, if you can get there and find a way to pay your expenses while you are there. Do some googling for more countries with free college, but realistically, you’re going to have to work and save money for any of your plans.
Regroup. Put college on hold for now. There is no desperate reason why you need to go to college this year. Earn money, as much as you can, and spend the year working out a new plan. Good luck.
I am so so sorry to hear this, because I know how much work you have put into your applications and what a strong student you are. You have amazing qualities that will still help you, even with this setback. You are a great student and have wonderful test scores, and your diligence and perseverance are amazing.
I know you don’t want to do this, but can you live at home and go to one of your local colleges? A quick google seems to show that they would be the cost of a few hundred dollars in US equivalent. And you could then go to the US for a master’s degree. I know that four years away seems like forever, but truly, it goes quickly.
There can be/will be a path forward.
@MYOS1634 , @DadTwoGirls , @tsbna44 — paging you as I know you have helped this OP a lot in the past.
I was saddened to see this note. I have no idea about studying in other countries. I think going local is always smart. Our Masters programs have students from hundreds of countries, with India high up the list.
Life is long - not a sprint - so figure out how to study from home and revisit in four years - it seems a good idea.
Sorry to read about the setback.
Take a look at ASU Arizona state university. They have a very strong online curriculum and some scholarships.
I suggest asking an AI agent for recommendations for what you are looking for specifically — just double check the results as the AI engines are sometimes wrong.
Wishing you well, truly.
I am so sorry.
Time to regroup.
1/ do as well as you can in your current curriculum - countries outside of India will use these scores to decide whether to admit you and whether to give you a scholarship.
2/ look for countries with free college (however they may require you to know a language other than English).
The most likely would be the German HochSchulen, some have programs in English and don’t charge tuition, and if you’re selected but don’t speak German you can attend a StudienKolleg where they give you about a year to learn German.
Finland, Belgium, France may be other possibilities.
