This is the situation.
I'm not a US citizen. I don't have green card as of yet. As far as I know I'm pretty much disqualified for every scholarship there is. And there is no way my family can afford tuition at the kind of college I want to go to.
Are there scholarships/good ideas for me, or am I doomed to a small town community college?
Advice or tips would be awesome.
Ask Your guidance Counselor, they have a good knack of coming up with scholarships for people with specific circumstances. Besides, I think colleges look for foreign students so as to increase their diversity or something like that.
In the college game, you have to play dirty; use anything and everything that you can to get your name in front of everyone else's.
I like to think of it as guerilla warfare. Use your weaknesses as advantages. (I remember this from somewhere) They are big, you are small: You are hidden, they are exposed; You are quick and agile, they are slow and cumbersome. You get the idea.
Good luck, God knows I need it.
