Securing funding for your education abroad, such as in the USA or Canada is often a major challenge for international students. Below are ways you can be successful in securing funding for college.

Through Your School

The first and best way to secure funding for your college education is by reaching out to your school via email asking about available funding opportunities. If you are a graduate student, ask about Graduate Assistantships (GA), Graduate Internships (GI), Research Assistantships (RA), and Graduate Teaching Assistantships (TA). This may seem like a tiring process at first but try and reach out to all the various departments in your school. A tool most colleges in the United States Use for all job postings is called Handshake. You would have to register with your assigned institution’s email, and you will be given access to see all available jobs on campus that you can apply to. You can download the Handshake app on your mobile device store (Google Play Store or App Store) or visit the Handshake website at handshake.com.
