<p>Do anyone knows about any free summer schools, preferaby engineering programs? </p>

<p>I'm stuck here, because my parents have no money to pay for them, but I am really interested in doing a summer program. Even if it's not free, I'd be glad if you could name some that offers need-based financial aid (to international students).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I'd like to know also (but I'm not limited to engineering)</p>

<p>Though they are not free, the CUNY system and the SUNY system in New York has a relatively low cost tuition rate, even for non-residents. Some of the CUNY and SUNY campuses offer a full slate of courses during the summer.</p>

<p>If you have a friend or relative in the metro New York City area whom you can bunk with you can take advantage of CUNY, since housing in NYC is quite pricey.</p>

<p>Alternatively, the large SUNY campuses, Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook have dormitories and are located in regions of New York State that are much less expensive than NYC. Check their websites.</p>

<p>try the programs from</p>

<p>all the ivyleague colleges/top colleges, they give great financial.
eventhough it seems expensive ~ 10,000. They pretty much cover everything if you apply early enough.</p>

<p>The CUNY (City University of New York) campuses are not residential. The SUNY (State University of New York) campus are all residential with dormitories.</p>

<p>do you just wanna take courses? Since you can always apply to a CC during the summer... they have very cheap classes.</p>

<p>Or are you looking to stay at some campus and do something all summer?</p>

<p>I just want to do a program that can let me get some fundamental understanding of engineering (or specifical parts of engineering).
I have to do residential ones, since I don't live in the US.
Cornell says financial aid is "limited" and my mom will only pay up to $1000 though.
Besides, I hope to get in a program that's ends in July.
June10~July29 would be the appropriate time for me :)</p>

<p>Also, I think CCs are usually non-residential?</p>

<p>Thanks for those great suggestions, any more advice?</p>
