international student paying for RISD?

<p>hi,i live in Vancouver,BC and was accepted to RISD(as well as SAIC and Pratt)and decided that it's definitley the school I want to go to next year.But being an international student I can't get the same(pretty much none of) financial aid that US students can get,and most of the scholarships I can get in Canada are really small because college is so much cheaper here.Also I and my family have literally no money for me to pay for tuition.So i'm wondering if there's any international students who have been able to get money from outside sources to afford to go to expensive US schools or if anybody has ideas or advice on how.</p>
