Hi,
For information on scholarships, student support, grants and student loans have a look at
http://taweek.com/11.html
It's got a lot of good stuff for you to look at. Have a look at the free textbooks you can download at the 'TextBooks – Sometimes Free – Always Cheaper' section further down the page
Good Luck
University Language Services is currently hosting a college scholarship for international and study abroad students. You must be a senior in high school or already in college. It is a photo contest that allows you to win one of four prizes. Check it out and good luck!
Try Oxford University UK or probably University of chicago united states, this are one of the best universities i can imagine for now, you can contact PROF. Broughton in the UK, here is his email link: broughtonrobert@ymail.com or Mr Johnson in the united states: ben_aggie123@yahoo.com.
You have to go to the website of international student of the university you want to go. They might have information about it or you can always email them. I know that a couple of universities in Oregon have a cultural program that allows international students to go to school for cheaper.

I found some info about getting this scholarship online in this scholarship database – education.mypressonline.com
try looking here, http://www.cappex.com/?code=JA9554.
There area a lot of scholarships for specific situations. i do not know if it applys to you but i got my list from;
http://www.tracemediums.com/front%20page/Consulting/site/Grantlist.html
for a small fee. You can also get some online, but not too in detail.
You would definitely need to take the TOEFL no matter what if you are a foreign student unless it is determined that you live in an English speaking country and that you have been brought up speaking English. Of course though, this all depends on the college. The TOEFL is an exam which determines your level of competence in English. Just by reading your question, I would guess that you are pretty proficient in English and I think you would not have any trouble with the TOEFL. As for the SATs, there are schools that do not require them, like Bowdoin College and Bates College in Maine where it is optional and there are other ones as well. To apply for a scholarship, you usually have to apply to a college first.
You have good grades and are good at soccer, so I would say you have a lot going for you and yes you could get a scholarship even if you are from another country.
Senior High School where? This information is necessary in assessing what may be available for you.
-Yes it would be better to graduate with an IB scholarship than a regular one because IB courses in high school is like taking college courses. And since IB is mostly college level courses you are able to receive credits for college during high school so…
-And yes it would also give you a higher chance at getting into a good college because they will be able to see that you can the handle the pressure.
-I would say the change would somewhat hard because you are going from regular classes to college coursed classes. It would be somewhat difficult but the result would be more than likely worth it.
I hope this helps you out a bit.
There are scholarships and government grants available for this case. But you will need to go to a website like Scholarship Support so you can learn more about how to find and apply for these. Scholarship Support provides free information and services that help students get Scholarships, Government Grants and Student Loans. Good Luck
Most private schools do not give International students financial aid, in fact, they need proof up front that your bills will be paid for if you are attending boarding school and require payment quicker than they do with local students. The only reason a lot of schools will go through the hassle of admitting foreign students (paperwork, visa, etc) is because they typically can pay full tuition and will donate generously.
In this economy, need-blind admissions aren't as they were, and they were very rare to begin with. First, current school families who are having financial difficulties will be looked at for financial aid, and they may be able to qualify easier than a new student. This is fair, they've already paid into the school.
Because there are a limited amount of funds, even schools that state they are need-blind aren't really. There will be many more qualified applicants at the top schools than there are spaces, so not every qualified applicant will be offered a space or financial aid, or the financial aid they offer will be very low. Need blind doesn't mean full financial aid. Even at Phillips Academy it is not as need-blind as they seem to make it out to be, and I believe that is the only need-blind boarding school now.
