Be it for the chance to be independent, to immerse in a foreign culture, to learn under a different pedagogy, or to make friends from around the world, many students like you dream of studying overseas. For the majority of financially needy students, studying overseas remains the purview of the wealthy and the privileged. After all, studying overseas often comes with a hefty price tag that may include unsubsidized tuition fees, room and board, air travel, living expenses, medical expenses, and miscellaneous costs that likely amount to more than the cost of studying locally. Many students see this seemingly insurmountable obstacle and give up. What students and parents rarely realize is that there are plenty of sources in the form of financial aid, merit scholarships, government scholarships, and even tuition-free colleges around the world that can make an undergraduate education overseas financially affordable. Some of these are even exclusively for students like you who want to study overseas. The aim of the book is to open your mind to the places and options that may not be readily apparent to you. With the information at your fingertips, we wish that you will make the right choices on your educational journey.
