<p>is there any college/university which can be affordable from on campus employment + available scholarships for international students?</p>
<p>Natigeta, what do you mean when you say “cheap”? From your other post, I’m assuming you don’t have the academic stats/background to be a candidate for very selective colleges. Is that correct?</p>
<p>There are certainly less selective colleges that are most affordable than others, but generally college is never cheap exactly. At least not what I would think of as cheap. Scholarships and other financial aid for international students is rare to begin with, even for the best students.</p>
<p>How much can you and your family afford to pay?</p>
<p>On another thread, the OP says that his SAT is 1240 out of 2400. That is a problem for schools that require SAT scores for int’ls.</p>
<p>Another problem is this…Tuition isn’t the only concern. There are also living expenses, book expenses, personal expenses, and travel expenses back to the home country. At a **minimum **all of these expenses for internationals run about $30k per year. The US won’t give a visa for someone who can’t demonstrate funding. There’s no way that an int’l with an education visa can work to earn much money.</p>
<p>I can demonstrate the funding to the embassy.actually am honor student but couldn’t do best @ SAT.I have class average of 93%.is there any college that gives loan?</p>
<p>My parents can afford up to $3000.</p>
<p>To be honest, I think you should probably look for colleges in your own country. With a 93 and a low SAT score, I don’t see how you get the highly competitive and very limited scholarship funds for internationals that a few colleges may offer.</p>
<p>ok no scholarship!! can you please list colleges that are affordable,offer on campus employment + loan.</p>
<p>Most student loans for internationals require either an US resident to co-sign or the parents of the international to co-sign (if the loan is coming from their home country).</p>
<p>I don’t think any college is going to let a young int’l student sign for a loan for over $10k without a co-signer. Work-study campus jobs are usually limited to earnings up to about $3k per year. Many of them are Federal work-study so int’ls can’t have those.</p>
<p>Typically the annual cost for the cheaper colleges for non-residents is about $30k per year.</p>
<p>First, you need to identify which colleges will admit you with your stats. Then you need to find out if any of them will help you financially. </p>
<p>I think this is going to be very difficult, since schools that have the most money are the ones who admit top students.</p>
<p>If your family can only afford $3,000 you probably cannot afford to study in the US. Depending on how far you must travel to study here, much of that could be taken up in airfare alone.</p>
<p>Is is not easy for international students to work while they are studying in the US. There are a lot of restrictions on where you can work - usually only jobs on the college/university campus for at least the first year. You probably will not be able to get enough work to pay for more than your books and personal expenses.</p>
<p>If you will need to work to help pay for your college expenses, look at universities in Canada and Australia. It is easier for you to get a work permit in those countries.</p>
<p>Natigeta, on-campus jobs usually first go to students who’ve qualified for federal workstudy funds. As an international you would not be eligible for those. There are other on-campus jobs open to non-workstudy students, but they are fewer and generally do not pay well. Also, there is no guarantee you could get a job on campus. You’d have to physically be there and apply for them early in the term, just like the US students. It’s not something you could count on. Plus, as happymomof1 says, you would not be able to earn much.</p>
<p>As for loans, some colleges offer loans from their own funds, but mostly the loans are either from or through the federal or state government (you would not be eligible for these as an international) or from a private source such as a bank. You would be free to apply for bank loans from your own country, of course, and if you could secure enough in loans to pay for college then you’d be okay. (At least until you had to start paying them back.)</p>
<p>But it is rare for a college to directly loan students money from their own funds. My son’s college will do this, but it is normally in one-time small amounts for a very specific approved expense. And even this kind of small loan from a college is quite rare among colleges generally. Looking to colleges for direct loans isn’t an option for you.</p>
<p>
If you are able to demonstrate that you and/or your family have the funds to pay for your living expenses and tuition, why don’t you use those funds…?</p>
<p>To answer the original question…no.</p>
<p>If you can demonstrate funding to the university (which you must do), then why can your parents only pay $3k per year? Either you have the funding or you don’t. Your parents can’t show funding, but then say it’s not for use by the student.</p>
<p>Check out the CUNY’s.</p>
<p>I have relatives/u.s residents/ in U.S who can be my co-signer.will that help for the loan?</p>
<p>what u mean by " Check out the CUNY’s "?</p>
<p>Use the funds that you are planning to swear to the United States government that you have for your education and support.</p>
<p>CUNY = City University of New York</p>
<p>honestly, your scores are very low and most Americans with a 1240/2400 would have a hard time getting accepted to colleges with that score and getting any kind of financial aid from the college. You really would be better off studying in your native country (at least the first 2 years)</p>
<p>Can you afford to go to college in your home country?</p>
