Can you get Scholarship as an International Student? // Robotics Newsletter Vol 21

Hi ,

One of the tough parts of studying in the US is the high cost of education. College fees (also called tuition fees in the US) plus living expenses can add up quickly. And education loans have high interest rate.

When I was pursuing my Masters in Robotics from UMD, I couldn't find a single scholarship that I was eligible for. All of them required US Citizenship.

But I found an alternative - assistantship. To be honest, I didn't even know about these until I landed in the US. I heard it from someone else who had got one and it just blew my mind. It allowed me to graduate debt free from UMD.

I talk about assistantship and more in my latest video 👇

❤️ Things I am enjoying right now

📖 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - I am re-reading this book after years and it is helping me enjoy the details that I didn't notice before. Along with their adventures, the story also talks about Hermione and Ron's friendship. They disagree, fight and then make up.

📺 School of chocolate - I have the biggest sweet tooth and it is just so much fun to watch these amazing people create beautiful things out of chocolate.

🎶 Uff from Bang Bang - I just discovered this (Bollywood) song few weeks ago and it is stuck in my head. It has such great beats to dance on!
