<p>There is only so much financial aid to go around in the first place, and even less for international applicants. However, if you are willing to look at lower-ranking colleges and universities that have one or two big scholarships each year for an international student, there may be more options for you. Not now, but for next year. Run a search with the college matching search engine at CollegeBoard.org and look for places that offer your major and some scholarships for international students, then go through the websites one at a time until you find some that will work for you. Yes, you may have to investigate many, many colleges and universities, but that is how it is. b@r!um who posts in the International Student Forum has written that she researched 300 colleges and universities before finding the ones to apply to.</p>
