Finding a way to fund for close to US$50,000 per year is an overwhelming task, no doubt. Not to mention, travel fees, living costs, spending money... the list just goes on. Finances may be the reason you are not considering moving to the States for your college degree anymore. It's not always the easiest thing to talk about money, but you know what is easy? Talking about scholarships.
It is to my understanding that international students have a difficult time with scholarships because of their visa status. Pacific, however, has available for freshmen and transfer students the International Student Merit Scholarship. You are automatically entered for consideration granted that you meet the 3.5 minimum GPA requirement and have completely filled out and sent in an application for admission for our undergraduate schools. Guess how much the award money is? US$10, 000. That is NOT a small sum.
If the International Student Merit Scholarship is not for you, I encourage you to search for scholarships within your own country. There may be grants and scholarships available for students who are willing to devote 4 years at a foreign country. I believe this travel and education experience is invaluable and creates a well-exposed and well-adjusted student--I'm sure there are other organizations who believe that too.
Don't settle for fronting the cash. You may be able to get free money for writing just one great convincing essay. There's nothing to lose. When it comes to things dealing with finances, you don't want to risk being left out of information. Search search search!
Happy searching,
Joanne
