<p>I am a freshman of an unerversity in Taiwan. I want to understand what kind of financial aids and scholarship I can apply for if I study at a U.S unerversity. Can someone reply my question? Thank you so much.</p>
<p>Hi,
Unfortunately, scholarships are not plentiful for international students. Some schools do award them, though.</p>
<p>However, you have another problem…you’re already in college. American universities usually only award good scholarships to incoming freshmen…not to transfer students. That is a problem for American students, too. The reason some colleges award big scholarships to incoming freshmen is because it helps their status and rankings - which is based on the quality of their incoming freshmen class.</p>
<p>How much can your parents afford to spend each year?</p>
<p>Thank you for your replication. On the other hand, I don’t know how much should we pay for tuition in an U.S college each year.</p>
<p>lazygirl…tuition/room and board (you can’t commute from home!!) and fees at U.S. colleges vary wildly. You can attend a community college for a modest price…say $7000 a year for tuition/fees/books but you would have to add housing and travel costs to that and that would be an additional $10,000 a year or so. Travel from Taiwan is expensive…and housing and food would depend on where you live.</p>
<p>There are private universities in this country where the total cost of attendance is over $50,000.</p>
<p>Thank you for your replication. I finally have some common sense about the topic. I have another question. Which college’s tuition is the most expensive and which is the cheapest?</p>

<p>You can use a search engine like [College</a> MatchMaker - Type of School](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board) to find some of the information you need. You also need to read everything (and I do indeed mean everything) at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.state.gov/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.state.gov/) Then you need to make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center closest to you. There are several in Taiwan [EducationUSA</a> - Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Taiwan]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Taiwan) These counselors can help you find the answers to your questions about studying in the US.</p>
<p>Thank you for your replication. I finally have some common sense about the topic. I have another question. Which college’s tuition is the most expensive and which is the cheapest?</p>
<p>Since there are hundreds and hundreds of colleges in the US, that is a hard question to answer. Cost isn’t by tuition alone. </p>
<p>there are many expensive colleges and many cheaper colleges. You need to provide more info.</p>
<p>Thank you, happymomof1, for offering these useful websites for me.</p>
