Maryam,
I am so excited that you have an interest in studying in the US. Your financial status is not a limitation. There are so many opportunities available that will help you achieve your goals. One advantage to you is that you are looking to study abroad. There are Student Exchange programs designed for students who wish to study in America from other countries. One trusted link I have to share with you will get you started and I will be happy to keep researching other help topics to encourage your goal to study in America. Again I am so excited for you and applaud you for being proactive in your search to study abroad. See link below and begin your search. I will be in touch to provide additional opportunities.

Hi, Maryam! That's a great question! Financial aid will typically cover living expenses. There are different forms of funding. There are grants, which the government will give to you and you don't have to pay it back. There also are loans, which you will have to pay back. Both will afford you the opportunity to get extra money to help pay for your costs of living. I wish you the best of luck!

Yes, usually financial aid covers living cost too. It depends on the university you are trying to get into. Start from their website and find out what all scholarships they have. Some of them usually cover living cost.
