Studying in the United States Studying in the United States can be an inspiring, exciting experience, but it can be difficult to finance. The cost of living, too, can be high relative to that in other countries.
Financial aid is limited and difficult to find.
Foreign students must often compete with American students and other foreign students for the same limited funding. You will need to be persistent because searching for financial aid can be long, tedious, and often unrewarding. Unfortunately, many students are unable to study in the United States because it is too expensive and financial aid is not available. It is essential that you think about planning your entire U.S. education before you leave your home country. Unfortunately, some students must return home after only one year of study because they run out of money.
