Recently, we've found some scholarship opportunities for which international students are eligible. As far as we have been able to determine, none of these scholarships are restricted to U.S. citizens - as you know, financial aid can be hard to come by, so don't let these opportunities go to waste!

• Datatel Scholars Foundation
  Datatel is offering multiple scholarships through four programs. Award amounts vary from $700 to $5000. You apply through your school, which must be a participating institution (it probably is). The schools must submit the applications they select by February 15, so you will need to get your application in to your school's financial aid office before then. Full information, lists of participating schools, application forms and more are available at the Datatel Scholars Foundation's website.
