There is financial aid availible but I don't know the ins and outs of it. I will look into it for you.

Thank you, that would be great. I really appreciate it.

Btw: there is also Carnegie Mellon University here. http://www.cmu.edu/ But it is more expensive. It is where the Software Consortium is located.

 

[Jaz]

Thanks again!

Can you look and see if there are any other international students there, and how much it's costing them?

I will pay you back with a week's `spam-pass`.

Check out CATSWeb for SWT Tuition. It doesnt mention non-US residents, only Non-Texas and Texas residents so you may fall under Non-Texas, or they may have not listed everything. CATS stands for "Computer Automated Telephone System" but the fact that our mascot is the Bobcat kinda makes it funny.

Financial Aid for International Undergraduate Students & Scholars

In general, the University of Pittsburgh can offer no financial aid to undergraduate international students. Therefore, you will need to consider carefully the estimated cost outlines on the Financial Support Statement that you will find as part of the Application Form for International Undergraduate Admission. You may also want to explore financial aid opportunities from other sources such as your government, international agencies and institutions, etc.
For additional sources of information, please see:

Just got off the phone with the cashiers office. Anything outside of the State of Texas, is considered Non-Texas residency with regards to tuition fees, regardless of what country or continent you have residency in. Soo you would pay tuition fees for Non-Texas Residents. Other information on SWT's CS department and their ABET Certification can be found here...

http://www.cs.swt.edu/
http://www.cs.swt.edu/Accredited.shtml

As mentioned on the web page there the ABET certification puts us in a ranking of 165 total schools/programs out of 3000 possible schools/programs in the entire US along with extremely large and popular (and expensive) schools such as MIT & Berkley.

Heh, public High School in the US is payed for by the government. You just have to buy supplies and sometimes literature books for reading assignments and maybe fees for extra curricular activities. There are Private HS as well, but they are usually Catholic church schools. Unless of course your catholic and then you may want to go there.

Correction: Its actually payed for by taxes but well you get the idea.
