The Coca Cola Foundation offers
many scholarships - and most
are focused on people of color.
Contact them to learn more.
- The
Foundation Center - which
is based in New York City
and a few other cities, lists
many funding areas, including
scholarships. I'm sure they
will have some classified
specifically for foreign students.
-
Another option is to actually
apply to a university and
seek financial aid from them.
Good
luck and I hope this information
helps you in your pursuit to
study English in America.

purpose
of providing educational scholarships for women. Our primary focus is to
give
scholarships to women and girls to pursue academic educational

Leadership Institute that provides Leadership Development programs for
