I am attending a University in Kazakhstan
Does your college offer scholarships for non-citizens? If not, I canāt think of any scholarships here.
How much do you needā¦and by when?
If you are planning to transfer to a US university:
āScholarshipsā is a tricky word, and it is probably more useful to break it out into external scholarships (such as Jack Kent Cooke), merit aid (scholarships offered by individual colleges to students that they particularly want to come), and financial aid (a variable mix of scholarships, grants and loans given to students who canāt afford to pay for all of the cost of attendance (COA))
Some US universities will consider your ability to pay when deciding whether or not to admit you, some universities will promise to meet what they consider is your āfull needā in financial aid, and a tiny number are āneed blindā and āmeet full needā.
In general, the more selective (elite, famous) the university the less they give out in scholarships and the more they give out in financial aid. In general, public (state) universities have lower costs for state residents (ie, local taxpayers) than for out-of-state (OOS) students.
If your goal is to transfer to a US university, then you need to figure out what you want and who offers it- and whether you are a credible candidate (note that the most famous names take very few transfers, because available spaces come from people who leave). The you need to look at their costs and the types of financial aid that are available.
