outside scholarships?

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>I am an international applicant from a country that is not widely represented in US colleges. I only can afford to go if given a full ride. I have a lot of EC's, several international awards and decent test scores (over 2300) but still am very nervous about what will happen in April. I have been accepted to a couple of schools through Early Action, but they only notify about the FA award in April. My question is, should I search for outside scholarships in case my FA package will be not enough for me to go to college?</p>

<p>Anyone had any experience with outside scholarships at all? If yes, could you give me some tips (in case it's not too late to apply)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>There are no significant outside scholarships from the US for foreign undergraduate students (who did not go to high school in the US; otherwise there might be scholarships from your local community).</p>

<p>Your best bet is college-administered financial aid, and scholarships from your home country.</p>
