Are you an American student heading off to study abroad? Or a non-U.S. student bound for America?
Whatever your situation, international scholarships are waiting for you. Let’s see if we can hook you up with some financial aid.
The application and college selection process is extremely time-consuming, yet without the appropriate financial aid package, this could very well be time wasted. Therefore, it is important to have an idea of the best scholarship sites in order to find that critical component. So, without further adieu, let me show you the money!

People can be quick to tell you that there are lots of scholarships out there that go unrewarded every year. While that is true, sometimes they make it sound like all you have to do is fill out an application for these scholarships and the money is as good as yours. I wish it was that easy, but there’s more to it than that.

With the cost of college going up every year, being prepared to apply for scholarships should be on every college bound student’s agenda. Unfortunately, most students don’t give it much thought until their senior year. By then, they are often too busy with school work and college applications to put in the extra effort it takes to submit scholarship applications that are likely to get you noticed.
Because students spend a lot of time working on college application essays, it’s understandable why many choose to reuse those essays for scholarship applications. However, since the majority of scholarships ask for an essay that addresses a very focused topic, using those recycled college essays - even if they are beautifully written - could actually cause you to lose a scholarship. A thoughtful, well considered essay will get you much further.
