As student loans are difficult to get if you are an international student, the next best thing is to apply for a Scholarship. A scholarship is, by Google’s definition: a grant or payment made to support a student’s education, awarded on the basis of academic or other achievements. Meaning that if you excel at your studies and universities see proof of your achievements and drive to learn and progress in your field, they are likely to pay a portion, sometimes all, of your fees.
