Financial Aid for International Students

Scholarships for International Students
You will undoubtedly encounter several scholarship matching services that, for a fee, will offer to search a database of scholarships for awards that match your profile. Unfortunately, the vast majority of awards in these databases are restricted to US citizens and permanent residents. Don't waste your money on such services.

The following databases are dedicated to listing scholarships for international students in specific countries. You should also consider searching the free databases of scholarships on the FinAid site, since some of them include scholarships for international students. The FastWeb database, in particular, has good coverage of the awards available for international students.

A word of caution: If a scholarship has an application fee, don't apply. If you have to pay money to get money, it is probably a scam. For more information about scholarship scams, the unclaimed aid myth, and related topics, see the Scholarship Scams section of the FinAid site.

5 Ways to Pay for College

One major hurdle that keeps many people from attending college is the cost. However, because of the potential return on investment when it comes to education, you should never shy away from getting a college degree because of the costs.

There are ways that you can pay for your college education, so explore your options and see which one, or combination of ones, will work best for your situation. Consider these ways to get help paying for your college tuition:

-          Scholarships. Conducting some online scholarship searches will provide you with a list of results that can help get you headed in the right direction. You may be able to find scholarships that are aimed specifically at helping African students earn a degree.

-          Loans. This is how most people finance a degree. They take out loans, whether through government or private sources, and then pay them back in the years after they finish going to school. Just be sure to check the interest rates, to ensure that you get one that offers a good rate.

-          Work. Consider getting a job at the college. There are many positions available at colleges, and these jobs can help cover the cost of attending. Furthermore, many jobs working for colleges provide free or reduced rates on your college tuition rates.

Paying for college may seem like a huge mountain to climb. So take on the challenge, put on your hiking boots, and get started on your journey! When it comes to paying for college, where there is a will, there is a way.

Best Survival Tips for Schooling in the UK

     Living and attending college in the UK has its challenges and its opportunities. Here are five tips to help you cope with the challenges you may face and take advantages of the opportunities around you.

Travel

Money is tight for most students so traveling can be hard to do, but living in the UK offers a unique opportunity for cheap travel. There are various types of public transportation, many of which offer student discounts. Remember to look for student discounts when buying bus, train or Tube passes. Also, check out sites such as http://www.studentflight.co.uk/ for student discounts on flights and hotel rooms. So, give yourself a break from all the studies and take advantage of the UK’s easy access to the rest of Europe and travel cheap!

Exercise

School work and college life can be overwhelming and it can be hard to find the time to or even remember to exercise.  Weather can hinder exercising outside and gym passes can be expensive, so check out your college’s gym facilities, which are generally free for students to use. Or, if the gym isn’t your forte, take a sports or exercise class.  There are a variety of classes offered that are of a physical nature, so there is sure to be something that suites you. Keeping exercise a part of your regular schedule is important and will help you in your studies.

Finances

There never seems to be enough money to go around, but there are ways to make saving a little easier.  Apply for financial aid, student loans and/or scholarships. Take the time to apply to one or all of these because it might just pay off.  Another piece of advice is to BEWARE of credit cards. Students are easy prey for credit card companies and it can be easy to fall in to their trap. Credit cards create debt fast and debt can be scary. If you do get a credit card do your research and be wise about your choice.

Sleep

Getting enough sleep, especially during college years, is vital. Studying, and actually comprehending what you study, will be easier when you have enough sleep. A lack of sleep can lead to illness and can heighten your stress level, which can have a negative effect on your studies. You will be more effective in your studying, writing and test taking when you make time for plenty of sleep.

Study Abroad/Internships

Check out your school’s study abroad and internship programs and take advantage of them. The UK’s location is ideal for numerous study abroad and internship opportunities, and many schools have specific programs that can make it easy and even non-expensive to benefit from these programs. And you don’t necessarily have to study abroad in Europe, there are programs for studying in the U.S., Australia and many other countries. See what your school has to offer through your academic advisor, a professor or your school’s website.
