Merit Aid Overseas!

Applying to College
1

<p>My unweighted GPA is 3.87, my SAT score is 2090, I've received two 5's on the two AP tests I've taken to date (micro/macro econ), and as a junior I'm currently enrolled in 4 AP classes and plan to take 5 more next year. I want to go to St. Andrews in Scotland to study international relations, but I can't afford it. I've never posted on this site before, but I figured I oughta cut the crap and get right to the grit, so there's the raw information. (I am also very involved in extra-curriculars, but I figure that's not quite as important when it comes to international schools.) </p>

<p>I'm fairly sure I could get admitted, but I need to know, what kind of merit aid/scholarship money is available to a prospective international student like me? I would need to cut the 12,000 pound tuition roughly in half to make it affordable. Is this feasible? </p>

<p>Thanks very much. Appreciate anything you can tell me.</p>

<p>No merit aid for freshmen international students at all. In fact no aid period. Not even need-based. Internationals are on their own. Maybe Stafford loans from the US which you could take out here would help you.</p>

<p>^What pinkpineapple said.</p>

<p>There may be a few scholarships from individual departments that you can apply for, or possibly a small one meant specifically for Americans, but there won’t be anything that could bring down the cost substantially.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. That sure is some disappointing news, though.</p>
