Hey guys,

It's been about 7 months since I left the US and things are working out better than I expected. I'm working for a English newspaper but I'll be leaving soon for a PR/marketing job at a luxury hotel chain. I was researching full scholarships for a while, and found one that everyone should check out.

The Australian Government gives out full scholarships to students from many countries.

The Endeavor Awards:

The only catch is that you have to have a high college GPA and some work experience, get sponsored by a university, and do a lot of community service. It means you'll have to apply from your home country.

I hope this helps some of you who are tired of waiting for the Dream Act. I was certainly tired of waiting after I got my BA and took a huge risk when I left. The future looks good so far, and I hope you guys will give self-deportation a serious consideration.

There are other opportunities out there than just wait for DA.
