Coming to Study in the United States?

Every year more than half a million international students pursue academic studies at a college or university within the United States. The complex diversity of the American educational system often offers foreign students a wider range of learning opportunities than they would find at home, and gives them the chance to pursue advanced study programs to which they may otherwise not have access.
Beyond the obvious educational benefits, welcoming international students to American campuses promotes a cultural exchange that enriches both visiting and resident students in equal measure. As foreign students live and study with their American counterparts, the exchange of ideas and experiences helps to forge a better understanding amongst the people of the world.
Many international students fund their American college experience with their own money. Like their American counterparts, however, that money doesn't always cover their total cost of attendance and foreign students look to grants and scholarships to help them pay for their American education. Financial aid programs for international students are, by their very nature, less extensive than those available to United State’s citizens. But they do exist, and they provide much needed financial support to international students attending college or university in the U.S.
Grants for international students are highly competitive, and are only awarded to the best and brightest students. Often these grants will target students who are pursuing advanced degrees in highly specialized fields. Grants for international students may be few, but they offer the promise of greater educational opportunities to students from around the world.
