My sister is about to start her 3rd year of college, my brother is about to finish high school(going to college on September)
and I'm about to start my 3rd semester in college .
My parents paid for my sister's tuition for the first 2 years, then they helped me pay for half of my tuition(i paid the other half) and since they have to start saving to help my brother pay for his tuition , then its gonna be hard for them to keep helping me or my sister.

-We live in nj so we dont have instate tuition.
-we all work but somehow its still hard to pay for college
-I tried to get a loan but you need a cosigner( none of my parents have a ssn)
-We dont have credit history( since we just got our ssn and work permit we all are trying to build one)
-Scholarships? i had a 10k scholarship (for playing soccer ) but you had to be a permanent resident or citizen.( i didn't have a ssn back then)


Is there any way i can get help to pay for college?
Where can i find scholarships for non-US citizens?

Hope you guys can help me with some info.

You can try the college guide for undocumented student for more help. But basically there aren't many option for you to get money other than work and scholarship. As for loan, you can try to get your relative to be your co-signer.

Apart from roughing it by taking lighter course loads per semester it can be rather difficult. I know your feel, North Carolina doesn't offer in-state tuition either.

Finishing your degree in more than 4 years is okay. That is the real world.

Oh, forgot to mention community college is dreamer's best friend. You can earn the credits for one third of the cost of a 4 year university.

its a good thing when you picked a program to study it was a transferring program in which you researched which universities would accept most of those credits then!

Good for you for doing this!!

you probably studied a respectable transfer degree like engineering or science or something like that which will offer you a lot of ways of paying for school

Happy for you!
