Yeah, yeah... we all know you're just trying to get away from zenicanin14 .
I'm not sure how it works in the USA, but over here full financial aid isn't the easiest of all things to come across. Any ideas on what state you're intending to end up in?

go to Japan its so much more fun there...trust me. But to be more helpful, financial aid is OK if you have OK credit(from what I've seen and heard) Dunno for sure though...

Well my credit is good and hell of a lot extracurriculum activities(just to mention some DBP, 3d modelling, basketball table tennis dancing tv appearances, drama club, school day activities, science fair activities, and many more) Also about the state have no idea it depends what school takes me, but probably near Bostno, best schools are there.

if your parents make ANY money, don't expect a GRANT, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a student loan

Yes they do, about 8000$ a year. Loan is currently not an option for me.

When you're a study coming from another country there should be quite a few scholarships available to help you with the expenses. Check with the admissions people at the school you'd like to go to before making your choice. Some schools have better options then other ones.
