Sylvia Said:

Do you offer full scholarships to international students?

We Answered:

You should really contact the University of Cambridge directly. No matter what anyone tells you here, if you're applying to the University, you'll have to ask them yourself eventually anyway.

Also, while it's true that all universities offer financial aid, not all financial aid is in the form of grants or scholarships. Most aid is provided as a loan that you would have to repay. You would not qualify for a grant or scholarship simply because you're an international student, or there would be floods of international students attending universities free. That doesn't happen.

In order to get a grant or scholarship, you have to have some special quality -- exceptional grades, extracurricular activities, etc. Many grants and scholarships are not funded by the universities themselves, but are sponsored by individuals, nonprofit foundations, or even the government. Some grants and scholarships are provided for unusual reasons. A man may establish a scholarship for anyone who has the same name as he does, or for someone born on a particular date.

So you should do three things if you sincerely want to attend Cambridge University:

1. Be sure your grades, extracurricular activities, and other qualifications meet their entrance standards. It doesn't matter if you can pay the tuition if you aren't accepted because you don't meet the minimum requirements.

2. Contact the University directly and talk to their Financial Aid department. Each university may call this department something different, but if you explain what you're looking for, they'll know where to direct your inquiry.

3. Search on the Internet for grants and scholarships for which you might qualify. Be careful not to fall victim to any scams. Scammers target people who want something badly and can't afford it, but are willing to pay some amount of money in hopes of achieving their goal. There are also books published that describe grants and scholarships available.

Understand that there may not be very many grants or scholarships available for the specific university you want to attend. If you can get into a reputable college or university, you can always work toward transferring to the university of your choice. To do this you'll need a plan. You'll need to know the entrance requirements and select courses that will meet those criteria. You need to remain in contact with the University of your choice so they keep you in mind when they hear about anything that may help you.

Good luck!

Is this who we want to be our President?

We Answered:

Ignorance about Obama is essential to support him.
But he does give a good speech so everything will be OK.
I knew that we should have nominated Mel Gibson...have you seen Braveheart? Very moving speech therefore he must be qualified to become president.

Brad Said:

Inform me of any US university offering athletics scholarship for internationa students(Kenyan).?

We Answered:

Try Rutgers University, the school I go to. Its is very diverse, and its the state University of NJ. Since Kenyans are known for their long distance runners I'll assume that you're either a long distance runner or a soccer player. Rutgers has a very good overall athletics program and a very fun and diverse atmosphere.

I suggest you go here to find out info on Rutgers:

I hate college, what do I do?

We Answered:

I'm sorry you're having a hard time.

I'll just add my two cents. After high school I was also a radical hippy, and there is no way that UNCG would have been a good fit for me. It seems like most of the school is filled up with pretty boys and soriority sisters.

All you have to do is look down the road at Guilford College. They are known to bend over backwards in the financial aid department, and it is exactly what you are looking for in terms of a place that a hippy can fit in and be happy.

Also, at Guilford College, you don't even have to worry about whether you actually like the city of Greensboro, because (at least when I went there from 00-04) people didn't leave the gorgeous campus that much.

Seriously, give Guilford College a look.
