If you want to include your Grade Point Average, state it as such, not using acronyms. Instead of the one page as is standard in the United States, international resumes tend to be longer, what we would consider a curriculum vitae, although shorter version are becoming popular in some countries. The curriculum vitae covers much of the same categories that a standard American resume would cover, but in more detail and would include references. Whereas personal information such as, marital status, age, and health are never put on an American resume, it is not unusual for employers from other countries to want and expect this information. They want to know more about you than just your job-related skills.
Funding can come in a variety of ways.
It is best to look in different areas, not just funding strictly for going abroad. There may be an academic or community related scholarship or fellowship that you are perfect for. Talk to family, friends and local organizations such as Rotary , Kiwanis , and community cultural centers. Try the UC Berkeley Scholarship Connection . Fellowship Program prepares students of color for future careers in public policy and international affairs through activities leading to a master's degree.
