San Francisco State University. . .

San Francisco State University is a large public university, part of the huge California State University system. SF State is located in San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. San Francisco State is a great university for Computer Science, Business Administration, and Engineering majors. However, because the city of San Francisco is so popular, housing and other living costs are very high.

Therefore, it is even more important that international students find sources of funding that will help them with the non-resident tuition they'll pay at San Francisco State. The main scholarship page at SF State is well-organized; the links to the left of the page are very helpful and contain tips on finding scholarships.

Like many schools, San Francisco State has a separate page for international student scholarships, which is highly recommended.

The George Washington University

GWU is a large, prestigious urban university located in downtown Washington, D.C. It is a private institution, and while it is expensive compared to state universities, international students pay the same tuition and fees as U.S. students. Because of this, it may be more cost effective to attend a university such as this.

The main scholarship page is simple, though difficult to find on the GWU website. However, there is a separate link for scholarships focused entirely on international applicants.

The text from this page reads:

The University is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence and awards qualified international students with academic scholarships. These scholarships are only available for students entering GW as freshmen, and, though you may meet the qualifications for several scholarships, only one will be awarded. Students awarded one of the scholarships listed below are guaranteed this award for up to 10 consecutive semesters as long as they maintain continuous full-time enrollment and satisfactory academic progress. Unless indicated, applicants are considered for scholarships at the time of admission and no application is required.
