International Student Applying for Scholarship

Paying for College
21

<p>@Mom2collegekids: I think UoH is the only one offering that specific major. but Idk about the int’l scholarship, since they don’t provide much insight about it :expressionless:
I was thinking of going into general engineering (i.e jack of all trades) then specializing in Petroleum Engineering when I apply for masters, or is it too hard to specialize after getting my bachelors ? ^ I’m sorta keeping that option as a my last-resort tactic</p>

<p>@ Q1: About the allowance, I was actually talking about out-of-school expenses (i.e going out, phone bill, gas money…etc…), is 5k enough ?</p>

<p>@ Q2/Q4: Do you know of ANY private universities that offer “Tuition discount” while catering to my “Petroleum Engineering” Major or just Engineering in general ?
Keeping in mind that my parents would pay the FULL tuition fees in cash, they just need an uh…“incentive” :stuck_out_tongue: ?</p>

<p>@College<em>ruled: Many colleges are seeking int’l students cause they pay in full often times 2x than what in-state students pay :stuck_out_tongue:
Again I’m not looking for a discount, since I’m going to pay said sticker price in full
I’m going for an alternative way to pay, So I can fulfill my dream of studying in the USA ^</em>^</p>

<p>Thank you very much ^_^</p>

<p>As for engineering in general…or EE, MechE, or the other more commonly found disciplines…</p>

<p>If you just need a little scholarship, then I suggest that you apply to UA Huntsville. You’d likely be given something and the engineering dept is strong there. Also try LSU.</p>

25

<p>Or possibly NM Tech --which does have a well-respected PetE degree program. It’s fairly inexpensive for OOS/internationals and you might qualify for a small “incentive” scholarship.</p>

<p>Application info:</p>

<p>Scholarship information:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.nmt.edu/scholarships[/url]”>http://www.nmt.edu/scholarships&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There is a link for scholarships for internationals near the bottom of the page.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Requirements? What Requirements? All I saw was GPA and TOEFL :p</p>

<p>And the link at the bottom of the page is for “Int’l Transfer Students”
Lol I didn’t even begin college to be called a transfer xD</p>

27

<p>There is also a link for entering freshman scholarships–for which internationals can be considered. Most are small–under $5000/year unless you’re a NM resident–but if all you need is a token award…</p>

<p>The first link info is for the application requirements specific to internationals. If you go the school’s home page, you’ll see the link for prospective students. Follow it and you’ll find general applicant info.</p>

<p>NMT has a outstanding reputation for PetE.</p>

28

<p>@WayOutWestMom:Clicked on the link & at the top of the page this appeared</p>

<p>Additional Information: All first-time scholarships require the student to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and be enrolled full time (12 hours or more per semester) :(!</p>

29

<p>So I guess there’s no solution to my problem :(!</p>

30

<p>Instead of applying for a “PetE” degree, you should consider the CehmE degree and that opens a lot of doors for token scholarships. You can get a job in a Petroleum company with a ChemE degree, I have several relatives are with Exxon and Mobile. A lot more colleges have ChemE degrees.</p>

31

<p>@Artloversplus: token scholarships…even for Int’l students ?
What’s the difference between a ChemE degree and PetE Degree ?
Which one is easier/harder :stuck_out_tongue: ?</p>

<p>Bump : p</p>

<p>*What’s the difference between a ChemE degree and PetE Degree ?
*</p>

<p>ChemE is a more versatile major. ChemE is difficult, but maybe PetE is just as difficult. ChemE is offered at many, many more universities. Many schools have dropped PetE over the last few years.</p>

<p>I don’t know how to list the differences. You could look at various schools COE websites and they would likely give descriptions of their ChemE programs.</p>

<p>I mentioned applying to UA Huntsville because I think they’d give you a small token scholarship.</p>

<p>Here’s their course sequence for ChemE…</p>
