If she needs financial aid, she should try to get a TA or RA position.
She should be exempted from tuition (including non-residence fee) and get paid about $1,000 - 1,500 a month.
The amount, of course, depends on the college though.
ok whats a TA or RA ?????
i was actually looking for scholarships for asian or filipinos etc.
TA is Teaching Assistant and RA is Research Assistant.
TAs are employed by a college department or university to assist professors in teaching-related responsibilities.
Their responsibilities include tutoring, holding office hours, grading homework or exams, assisting a professor with a large lecture class by teaching students in recitation, laboratory, or discussion sessions, and sometimes teaching their own classes.
RAs are employed to assist professors in research-related responsibilities.
Their responsibilities depend on the project a professor is working on, but they are basically involved in running of a laboratory and clinical trials.
I know many international students are employed as TAs and RAs because of the benefit they get.
Exemption from non-resident fee on top of regular tuition is a big difference
