Study in America
 

I want to ask that can I study in America on scholarship? I want to get admission in college, so, are there colleges which provide scholarship for intelligent students? And if yes so what I have to do to get that?

You need to apply to the college, be accepted, and apply for financial aid. Every college/university offers some financial aid.

Not sure if financial aid is offered to foreign students. That would be the first hurdle to conquer. What country are you from?

Pretty sure this is a troll. There was an earlier thread under a different screen name that was almost word for word identical . . .

In case this is not a troll -

Applying to college in the US is a lengthy and fairly complicated process requiring taking comparative exams (usually SATs for better schools), understanding what the entrance requirements are and determining what schools are appropriate for you (have the major you want and for which you will qualify).

Be aware that many colleges are very expensive and while many offer scholarships to VERY well qualified foreign students there is not only tuition to deal with but living expenses (which the college is much less likely to cover).

you should find someone at your current school - or if there is no one check other schools in your city - who can help guide you through the process.

Can I have some names of good colleges, and if possible provide me their website links. I am from Pakistan. I hope that you guys can help me out
.
Thankyou!

Hamzan, pretty sure this is a troll. You can google names of good universities and go to their website. The internet works in Pakistan as well.

If you are truly a real person, I have colleagues from India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan who are working in IT in the US I could put you in touch with. Please reply with your CV, educational background, area of interest and any other details.

If you are that intelligent and not a troll, you should demonstrate that you know how to do research using the Internet and other sources rather than asking strangers to spoonfeed answers to you. If you are unable to perform this simple task then getting a scholarship your chances are slim to none.

There are literally thousands of colleges in the US - ranging from the Ivy League and similar (very competitive with hundreds of applicants for each opening) to large or small private universities (quality all over the map) state universities (some great, some so/so) and community colleges (2 year AA degree to transfer to a 4 year school.

Which schools are best depends largely on:

What your potential major is: very different schools for math, engineering, liberal arts, fine arts, sciences and specific majors (veterinary, hotel management, journalism, etc)

Which you will qualify for: based on your grades, SAT or similar test scores, recommendations from teachers and the university's assessment of the school you are graduating from

There are several online sources that provide a ton of information - just google US university rankings - but you really need someone from your school to help guide you through this process

Why would this be a troll?

There are some universities/colleges that have a reputation for wanting foreign students more than others. Howard University in Washington DC is one of them, for example. It's an historic black college, but I don't think it's exactly a top tier school in many ways, especially med school. Schools may have reputations in certain countries, Howard has a lot of students from Nepal, for some reason. HEre are their standards, as an example

You know you will have to take a test on English proficiency (TOEFL, for example) and regular admissions tests like the ACT or SAT.

I"m sure there are similar admission standards at many other US universities. Many Chinese students come to the US to study, I know that. In fact, one of my best friend is German and came to the US to university in Knoxville, TN, I think she said they had a particular program to attract foreign students, also. Here is info on that, they even have an "international house."

that's all I know personally

As for scholarships for foreign students, I have no personal knowledge, but here's an article on it

Christina: >>Why would this be a troll? <<

<i>Because</i> in the last 2 months we have had about 6 virtually <u>identical</u> threads posted under as many different screen names. Exactly the same syntax, identical vocabulary, same 'non-details' . . . most have been deleted by the monitors.

Consider Harvard. No need to apply. Just show up the first day of school.

Most of the international students that I know came to the US for grad school after completing undergrad in their home countries. This happens a lot with science and engineering majors. Most of these students got guidance from their universities at home about applying to grad school in the US.

When I was in school, granted during the last ice age at a NY State University we had a number of foreign students in the undergraduate programs. I didn't know any of them well enough to know if they were on scholarships, except for 2 cousins from India I shared one class with - they were obviously from a wealthy family and paying their own way.

The OP needs to do some work at home to figure this out - we can't get him a scholarship of even reco specific schools without a lot mre info.
