Degrees in America are expensive, but an abundance of scholarships are available to help international students out. 

Almost all universities have scholarship programmes, most of which are open to applications from international students – although you may need to take SAT or ACT tests. Scholarships are typically assessed on either academic merit, financial need, or extracurricular contribution.

In addition to these, there are a range of scholarships available from private organisations and donors, with a broad range of criteria for eligibility.
