Almost (if not 100%) colleges and universities in U.S offer scholarships for residents and international students (no different what country one from). However, to receive scholarship, one has to be qualified (high G.P.A, good score in standardized test score(s) including TOEFL, ACT or SAT). There is NO scholarship for airplane, you HAVE TO pay it by yourself if admitted. The living fee, usually schools don't offer scholarship for this, but international student can work or loan in order to pay it off.

http://www.topherreimroc.com/FullScholarship A good friend of mine recommend this site to me. We both go to school full time for Anthropology. He said he not only used it to help him search for a college that was right for him, but also earn a scholarship! He now goes to my school on a full scholarship he recieved by using that website!

The cost of living in South Africa is much lower than anywhere in the U.S. According to a 2006 study, Johannesburg ranked 117 of 144 measured cities. New York City was established as a base for this study. Against the cost of living in Johannesburg had an index of 69.1. This means that it should cost you 30% less on average to live in Jo'burg. When I visited the country, I found the cost of food and housing to be substantially lower than in the U.S. I have included the website address of Premier Tours which is currently offering a RT fare of $879 from Atlanta to Jo'burg. Additionally, you may want to consider private fund-raising as a way of raising funds to cover the cost of living while you are studying.
