Canadian and UK Schools... Any Aid?

Paying for College
1

<p>I'm going to be applying this fall and my mother and I are looking at a few UK schools (St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Strathclyde) and UBC (british columbia), of course along with US schools. I'm a 4.0 student unweighted (+ 4 AP's), 2000 SAT / 30 ACT student, but because I live with a single mom and she makes less than $30,000 a year, I'm definitely going to need aid.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if UK schools or UBC give any financial aid to international students (I'm Oregon, US)? And if they do, is it generous or modest? I don't want to apply if I know I can't get aid. Thanks</p>

<p>no -- no aid to US students attending UK schools. I understand that loans can be used (Stafford, don't know about others) but no grant money. Also -- most scholarships awarded in the US can only be used for US schools (check the fine print). </p>

<p>The costs of schools in the UK runs around $35,000 per year for 3 years. That figure is approximate -- and includes tuition, books, room and board, lodging over the break and transportation home to the US.</p>
