Paying for College

Can I go abroad when I need almost 100% financial aid?

I am a high school senior and my father recently passed away. There is a lot of financial instability, lots of existing debt and not much money available for uni/college. But is it possible? I have a 4.0 weighted GPA, somewhat good ECs and have been studying at an English taught high school in Asia.

What do I do/where do I apply to for my financial situation?

Hey! So I'm actually a sophomore, but have you considered studying one at an affordable college, and then transfering to where ever it is that you want to go? The price becomes significantly lower, and the requirements become lower as well if I'm not wrong. 4.0 GPA is pretty amazing, and I am so sorry for your loss. Everything will hopefully workout for you, and I hope my response helps you in anyway possible.

Hey! Yeah if you are lucky enough to get a full ride scholarship or lots of scholarships, definitely. But if not, you could start saving money for college, or go to a more affordable one until you can afford it.
