Financial Aid for foreign students studying in the United
States is extremely limited. 70% of all foreign students are supported
by private funds. The remaining 30% are funded by the country governments
and organizations, U.S. government agencies, and U.S. colleges and universities.
Of that 30%, only 10% receive funds from U.S. colleges and universities.
Funds available in the U.S. for undergraduate study
are minimal and can only be obtained from private universities and
colleges.
Financial assistance is generally based on both academic achievement
and financial need and would rarely cover more than tuition expenses.
Although competition is very keen, more financial aid
is available for graduate study and research. Aid may come from either
public or private institutions or private foundations and
organizations.
There tends to be greater support available for students in the
humanities, social sciences, and natural life sciences . Limited funding
is also available in the fields of engineering, business, management.
In most cases, foreign students are in competition with U.S. students
for financial aid funds. Foreign students should explore all opportunities
for funding in their own country before applying for U.S. based aid.
Remember that many schools want to internationalize their
campuses. If a school has no students from Bulgaria, or has students
from Plovdiv, but not Sofia, they may be willing to fund such a student
to increase diversity. (Saying "we have students from 50 countries"
sounds more impressive than "we have students from 10 countries")
