It is often difficult for students to find funding for education abroad even if opportunities exist. But this is not the case with U.S Residents and Permanent Citizens. Most grants, scholarships, and loans from public and private sources are restricted to US citizens.One may find the best financial resources through The Foreign University,Published Materials, International and Local Organizations, Vocational Rehabilitation Funding/SSI Funding, Scholarship Search Engines and Funding Opportunities.
