Paying for School in the US
In the
present, many family has a big problem of some their children’s education
because they’re poor. The college hasn’t aid for student. They don’t have
opportunity for studying. However, it must depend on each college that “How
does it help student for paying college?”.
Governments are not the only ones
having to re-examine their budgets. The financial crisis has many families
concerned about how they will pay for college. This week in our Foreign Student
Series, we discuss costs for higher education for international students in the
United States.
Prices differ from
school to school, but public colleges and universities usually cost less than
private ones.
A big state
university in the western United States will serve as our example. The
University of Colorado at Boulder has one thousand two hundred international
students from more than eighty countries.
Tina Tan is the
director of international student and scholar services. She says international
students are paying a total of forty thousand two hundred dollars for this
academic year. The university estimates that the cost for next year will increase
by four hundred dollars.
The university does
not offer financial aid to international students. This is generally true of
American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. Federal and state
financial aid can only go to American citizens.
The University of
Colorado does, however, offer some help for international students. For
example, it guarantees them the same tuition rate for all four years of
undergraduate study. And it offers four scholarships for international students
with special skills or talents.
Tina Tan says the
federal government requires international students to show on their
applications how they will pay for their first year of school. This evidence is
a signed statement from whoever is paying for it, and confirmation from a bank
or lawyer.
Some colleges might
require international students to show that they can pay for all four years.
But the University of Colorado requires only evidence of financial support for
the first year.

From the article, the government of
United States must check the budget. It has a problem about “paying for college
of many family”. It has different of paying of school and paying of university. Tina Tan says that “student must pay
forty thousand two hundred dollars for university and it will increase four
hundred dollars”. However, the university never gives aid for student but the university
of Colorado will help student’s education by giving scholarship for
international students of talents and skills.

the University of Coloorado will help student giving the aid for student have
skill and talents. For my opinion, I agree this article because everything must
do with money, they can’t do everything.
