What International Students Should Know Before Applying to U.S. Colleges
If you, too, are interested in studying in the United States, it’s important to realize that you will likely have to pay in full for your college education. In 2010-2011, 63.4 percent of international students at any degree level relied primarily on personal or family funds to pay their tuition—money that likely comes as a relief to many cash-strapped U.S. universities. Financial support from U.S. colleges, the U.S. government, private sponsors both in the U.S. and abroad, and international organizations all declined from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011.
