Please help me out.

Paying for College
1

<p>I am an International applicant from India. The University of Richmond has offered me a conditional admission. They will grant me admission only if I send them the International Financial Certification with estimated family contribution to the tune of $ 53.660. </p>

<p>My family can't pay that huge an amount for my education due to financial problems. My Dad can pay in the range of $10000-15000. Can you guys please recommend a few ways to pay for Richmond other than loans? Richmond is my first choice uni. </p>

<p>I'm ready to do anything to get into Richmond this FALL</p>

<p>hey sueinphilly…I’ve already applied for the non-US students need based aid…they said that due to limited funds…they won’t be able to provide me with any financial aid…therefore, my admission offer is condtional</p>

<p>UR is a nice school, but I wouldn’t pay > $200,000 to go there. Many state-supported schools in the U.S. would be equivalent or better at a far lower cost.</p>

<p>so now you know, pay full price or study in your own country or pick a cheaper school here in USA</p>

<p>Nothing you can do for Richmond. Villanova is a very good school. Many internationals do not have an option - you are lucky. </p>

<p>What made you think UofR would give you substanial aid? Their polices are very clear.</p>

<p>I say take your lottery winnings from Villanova (if I understood your post correctly) and run with it. All of the schools you listed are good schools. Just because you’re admitted doesn’t mean you can afford it. Be grateful for Villanova and get a great education for a fraction of the cost.</p>
