Financial aid process for international students
Answered

Hello! I'm from India and I'm planning to apply for financial aid for a few schools in the US. The thing is, I'm not sure where to start. Please help me out on the general process of applying for financial aid! What applications do I have to submit and where?

Also, as an international student, what are some scholarships or grants I can aim or apply for?
