Basically there are very few scholarships in the US for international students. You will have to be able to prove that you have the money in the bank to finance your own education in order to get a student visa. Accommodations cost between $10,000 and $15,000 a year. Tuition is between $20,000 and $30,000 a year depending on where you go to school.

Are you applying to a university (not likely for sound engineer/audio engineer) or a trade/technical school? For trade/technical school, very highly unlikely there is any real financial aid available. For a university degree program, only 'highly unlikely' there is any real financial assistance available. Accommodation and other living expenses are never included in tuition, etc. School expenses will include tuition, fees, books and supplies, equipment (starting with laptop/notebook computer and printer). Living expenses include room & board on campus (where available) or: rent, utilities, groceries, transportation to/from campus & elsewhere, household supplies, clothing, laundry/dry cleaning, medical care & insurance, etc. No, you can no longer live in the US on a mere $2000/month. In major cities, you cannot survive on $3000/month. The real inflation rate is over 10% and rising rapidly. School costs are rising faster than inflation. Students are strictly prohibited from working. #2 reason for foreign student failure is insufficient funds for all school and living expenses. You will need a great deal of money. Whatever guidelines are given in the website for the school you are interested in, add another 20% for a more realistic estimate of what it is going to cost you.
