Steve’s Answer

Working and going to school at the same time can be tough. But, if you apply to some schools, they might be able to help you with grant and scholarship money. Money can be given based on need and/or good grades. The financial aid office of the college would be able to tell you wait applications you need to complete.


Good Luck!

Saurabh’s Answer

Hi Prashant, being myself from Nepal and having pursued my undergrad and grad educations in US - I would say it is totally feasible and manageable to pursue your higher education in US/ engineering. I could not say from question that whether you want to pursue Bachelors or Masters, but for the sake of conversation, I am going to assume Bachelors. For any school/ level, it is very important to prepare your application packet for each requirements. In general, most of the schools require your Academics, English Language, Essay, and any extra curricular activities.

In US, most of the colleges offer grants or scholarships and they also offer on-campus jobs for 20 hours a week - which is manageable if you are willing and prepared to do your time management. With decent scholarships and 20 hours of on campus jobs, most of the international students from Nepal as well as other countries are able to manage. I must say, with COVID-19 and recent development in US economy, it is hard to predict and say how things will pan out in future.

Whereas for Masters, if you have good bachelors, good research exposure and desire to do more research then if you correspond with grad schools and faculty, they might have research opportunities, which they call Research Assistant (RA) and your education cost will be taken care from there.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Garrett’s Answer

I recommend looking into universities in Canada. The quality of education from a university like the University of Waterloo or University of Toronto is comparable to top schools in the US, but at a fraction of the cost. Another benefit of the University of Waterloo is their co-op program. All engineering students get six 4-month work terms, where you can learn valuable work experience and earn money at the same time (an average of $50,000 to $90,000 over six work terms). The result is that you leave university with an impressive resume and very little student debt, especially compared to students in the US.


Here's a link for more info about the co-op program.
