Education Funding for International Students
SDSU is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best universities in the nation. In addition, the Carnegie Foundation has ranked SDSU as the No. 1 research institution in the state.
There is no denying the fact that college is an investment. The return you get back from it is invaluable — especially at SDSU.
Plan Ahead
The first step is to select a program that meets both your academic needs and your budget limitations, keeping in mind that there are numerous scholarships available to help reduce the cost. You may wish to consult with the education abroad adviser as you are making this decision.
Next, develop a financial plan, drawing from all available resources such as scholarships, financial aid and personal funds.
