Ways to fund my studies ?
I'm an international student from Tunisia going into my senior year, and my dream is to go to college in the US, specifically in California. It's honestly been one of my biggest aspirations for a long time. The problem is, I know California schools don't usually offer much financial aid to international students, and on top of that, I don't have a co-signer for private loans. Still, I don't want to give up on my dream that easily. Does anyone know of any scholarships I could apply for or any colleges (preferably in California) that are generous with financial aid for international students? But honestly I feel pretty lost and overwhelmed because the whole financial aid process is already so complicated and confusing, let alone as an international student. :') If anyone has any advice, resources, or information that could be useful for my position it would truly mean the world to me. Thank you so much!

try looking in the Organization of American States, Rowe fund. Iv'e heard there are grants or loans depending the region you're from. Try looking more into private universities since they evaluate international students for institutional merit scholarships or need-based aid during the admissions process. They are strict when accepting students in certain ways.
