Here's a useful site for international students which is also very dry. Created by Mark Kantrowitz, author of The Prentice Hall Guide to Scholarships and Fellowships for Math and Science Students, there are various options of financial aid available. Though everything under the listed categories have links, the home page has a text-book look with a straight `lists' look. There are some curious classifications. Like the one for gay, lesbian and bisexual students. Several universities offer scholarships for those who have proven academic performance, provided they are open about their sexuality, under this category. Common Myths is another interesting section that helps clarify some misconceptions.
Publishers of financial aid videotapes, scholarship search software, financial aid newsgroups, bibliography, glossary of financial aid terms (here, you could browse through for a comprehensive search) and many, many more helpful options. Though the site is an answer to a student's financial nightmares, some visual relief could have lifted the pages. However, a compulsory hit for international students. |
