It is dream of every student to study in United States. Around 4 percent of students in United States for higher studies are foreign students. The biggest hurdle that most students not just foreign but US citizens face is financing. Cost of education in United States is very high which is unaffordable for a lot of people.

This is the reason why not everyone can get admission in US colleges. You are required to give financial assurance well in advance before you get visa to study in United States.

The most obvious thing here for students is either take education loan or go for scholarships. There are scholarships available for Indian students who want to pursue higher education in United States but very few of them are for under graduate course.

Most scholarships are for masters and PhD course therefore your chances of getting an scholarship is not too bright. Saying that there are scholarships for undergraduate students but you will have to prove eligibility for that.

Firstly you need to score at least 95 percent marks in the CBSE 12th. Secondly you should have good command over the English language which is also critical for studying in United States. Unless you meet these basic requirements, there is no way you are going to get any scholarship to study in United States.

Below are some of the scholarships you can apply for:

Fulbright Fellowships for Indian Citizens

This scholarships is especially for the Indian students who wish to study in United States. The scholarship is awarded to people can help promote understanding and friendship between people in US and India. For more details visit the official website for USIEF.

Ambassadorial Scholarships by The Rotary Foundation

Rotary Foundation in United States also offer scholarships to students who 100 countries which also includes India. The purpose of the scholarship is to further improve the relations of United States with other countries. Please visit the official website for Rotary Foundation for more details and application procedure.

There are several other scholarships that are offered by some companies especially for engineering students however there condition is that after completing the course, student must join the paid intership at the company.

Overall the choices of under graduate aspirants to get scholarship for United States is very thin. You should apply for the scholarships mentiond above and at same time you should get details about education loan and see if you can afford it in long term.
