Columbia financial aid for international students

<p>Hi everyone, I am a student from a French university in my final undergraduate year (3rd year of Grande Ecole to be precise) and am going to apply to a few master degrees in the US, one of which being in Columbia. I am frankly concerned about the high tuition fees there, as I am not eligible for federal financial aid and Columbia apparently awards aids and assistanships to doctoral students only.</p>

<p>I would like to apply for either a MS in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in photonics or a MS in applied physics, (both terminal programs) and the Columbia site seems like a maze for me when looking for available financial aid.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any tip/information/experience about financial aid opportunity in Columbia? Any kind of scholarship/grant/RA/part-time job is fine by me? Thanks for you input!!</p>
