I'm Trying to help someone from Europe Study in US? where I can search for scholarships or grants?
International students cannot get grants, and scholarships are few and far between. Most international students study here on loans. Scholarships have deadlines in February and March, so they are all closed for this Fall. So he will have to take out a loan for their states cost of attendance (which is posted with the tuition fees on the admissions website, and generally includes housing), and send them the proof of having received that loan. You have to just start looking for accommodations. The schools website will tell you the cost of dorms, or you can look online for apartments in the area. In America you usually pay each month, and at the beginning you will pay a deposit as well. He cannot come here in the Fall, and financial aid is awarded for the year, starting in the Fall. Applications deadlines have long already ped for international students, so maybe the next year, you cannot get someone over here in this short of time. International deadlines are usually 9 months ahead and sometimes only accepted for the Fall. Then it takes time to get the VISA processed, and that is after he has already gotten that years worth of money together. So first find the school that he wants to attend, their international admissions information will tell you where to go from there.
