[originaltext] Most of the students who come to America pay for their educat

Most of the students who come to America pay for their education with their own money or with money from their family. The group NAFSA, an association of international educators, says this is true of 81 percent of students. That is because not much financial aid is offered to foreign students in the United States. Foreign graduate students have more chances than undergraduate students do. Still, 47 percent of foreign graduate students pay for their studies with their own money or their family’s money.
    Most financial aid from government and private groups is restricted to American citizens. Some countries provide aid for their citizens to study in the United States, on the guarantee they return home to work.
    The United States government provides aid for students from some countries. You can ask for details at an American Embassy or an office of the United States Agency for International Development. A local university may also have such information. And some American schools do provide financial aid for foreign students. A list of these can be found at a useful Website. The address is edupass, org. The site also provides information about where to write for financial help. And it warns foreign students net to pay if any money is requested for scholarship application forms. You could be cheated. This site also tells how to order publications such as "Funding for U.S. Study—A Guide for International Students and Professionals". This guide lists more than 600 places where international students can get help paying for their studies. You can also go to the site which is operated by the State Department, which is quite informative.
    A lot of information about financial aid can be found on the Internet. If you do not have a computer, you might be able to use one at a local school or an educational advising center to search the information you want.
