A number of students at myuface (and international students elsewhere) are in need of a lot of scholarship support in order to be able to study in the United States.  There’s nothing at all wrong with that, and we here at myuface try to find universities that will offer the maximum amount of financial aid to students.

However, it’s also important to realize that universities very rarely offer international students a “free ride.”  When they do, it’s usually because the student’s application (test scores, essays, academic record, etc.) is very, very good.  Even in those cases, many universities require some contribution from the student.

For that reason, as you fill out your application on myuface, or as you apply to U.S. universities independently, you should have realistic expectations about just how much help you can expect from those universities financially.  Chance are, you’re going to either have to:

a) contribute some funds yourself; or

b)  work extra hard to identify funds from other sources.

We hope we can offer good advice on both counts:  our blog has a lot of information about finding financial aid.
