There are hundreds of ways to get funding for your studies in the US, despite the fact that it is one of the most costly countries in the world to pursue higher education.
Introduction:
Funding meant exclusively for US citizens will not be available to you as an international student. However, the number of international scholarships available to study in the US has increased as US universities place a higher priority on internationalisation. Additionally, some US universities admit international students without regard to their financial situation.
A variety of US scholarships for overseas students are listed here; some are provided by the US government, others by private organisations, and some by particular universities. I hope your applications go well!
