Scholarships for Non-Citizens
And Academic Support for Undergraduate Students
"Thanks a lot for the very valuable
information my son and I have been receiving from
Scholar Ventures. Since arriving in USA a year
plus ago, we have learned a lot about high school
here, but not quite as much about university issues,
a gap that you are obviously filling.
As a way of background, my son is not a USA citizen,
though we are officially Texas resident during
my current expatriate assignment by my employer.
My son, however, will be 15 years old this December,
currently in 11 grade in Houston but has consistently
been one of the best in academics in his class
even before our arrival here. In fact, he would
have completed high school next June in our home
country, but for our relocation to the USA and
age became a more important issue. He plans to
specialize in medical research. Normally, students
like him typically aspire to attend an Ivy league
college. I hope you now understand my excitement
and challenge as a parent as scholarships listed
in the websites are for USA citizens.
Now my questions:
1. Can you tell me what scholarships are available
for young but very talented non citizens with
excellent academic records? I will really appreciate
specific answers/lists of websites.
2. Are there universities with track history
of excellent social/ administrative support for
young undergraduates among the leading universities
in USA? Are there websites that provide an evaluation/
comparison of such support program."
Responses were sent from:
University of Alabama, and the Ventures Scholars
Program.
