Can you help me find a high school scholarship?

I need help in finding a University which will offer me a scholarship because my life will be ruined very soon

• I am a 20 year old Kenyan who is gay. I am being persecuted from all sides. I was once about to be lynched in high school for suspicion. I failed my exams terribly cause of the stress. I once tried suicide. I repeated and managed to get into a University and do commerce. I also do accounting. The same people from high school are with me and I am stressed now. Kenyans are very homophobic and I may loose my life. My parents will throw me out if they find out. I just need to get a scholarship abroad and forget Kenya. I will not be able to study with all this. Someone please tell me how I can succeed to get a scholarship abroad. We are poor and cannot afford foreign Colleges. Please help me

• Answer:

  I'm so sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. Here's all the information you need to start your education in the US, or most other countries. You need 3 main things: 1) A Student Visa - This allows international students to travel to the US to study. You can find useful information here - http://educationusa.state.gov/usvisa.htm 2) SAT scores - This is a standardized test that all colleges require for admissions. You can find more information and register here - http://www.collegeboard.com/about/association/international/satfaq.html 3) TOEFL scores - This test allows international students to study in the US.

Scholarships are free sources of money that you can use to pay for your school expenses, and you don't have to pay them back!
