Good source for scholarship/funding/loan

[VaibhavChauhan]

I got admit from U-Mich but its very very costly.

Please lemme know good source for scholarships/funding/loans.
I badly need it

Don't expect to find any for international students. You are supposed to demonstrate enough funding before they can issue to you I-20.
I'm surprised you didn't ask yourself how to pay for the tuition before you apply to MFE programs.

 

[VaibhavChauhan]

Andy, I can arrange funding from my bank account and loan, but it would be great if I could get some funding.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Some programs give you upfront tuition reduction. CMU, IIT, Poly, etc do that. And it says so when they give you admission. If not, then they don't give any funding as is majority of MFE programs.

 

[VaibhavChauhan]

Yes, I understand that there is almost no schol for MFE from univ. I was thinking of other schols if possible. As there are few websites that show various schols. I checked few but I was not eligible for them.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

As I said, international students are not eligible for any of them so don't waste your time on those scholarship websites. Some will try to scam you by asking you to pay a fee to apply.

Many Thanks Andy. You really saved my time.
I talked to few friends who are working part time, as I posses good work-ex, I expect to earn some bucks by working part time. Though not sure about it.

As an international student on F-1 visa (full time student, enrolled for atleast 9 credit hrs during spring/fall) you are allowed only 20 hrs part time job on campus. CPT will allow to work in internship (summer may be) and OPT after graduation for a year (or may be extendible if you are in STEM category, financial engineering could fall into that, not so sure about this).

Does it seem counter-intuitive that the private sector with all its relative profits, compared to research government funding, would be more capable of maintaining scholarships? Is there a conflict of interest pitfall Im ignoring? So confused......
