<p>A 2.6 GPA is extremely low for most American schools, unless that’s your Uruguay GPA. I don’t pretend to know how to convert Uruguay GPAs into American ones, but if that converts to a >3.0 American GPA, you should look into U Wyoming which gives small merit awards for students with a [></a> 3.0 GPA](<a href=“404 - Page Not Found”>http://www.uwyo.edu/admissions/scholarships/international/rms-international.html)</p>
<p>It’s a relatively small public university, whose state legislature has recently poured money into the school, especially into the engineering and computer science department. If you can get the scholarship the total cost of attendance, even after factoring in transportation costs and insurance will be less than $30,000 a year. Additionally, because it’s the state flagship in a sparsely populated state, it’s a very good option for what we in America term B-Students, eg those who were, in high school, fairly decent students but not necessarily academic super stars.</p>
