Very Very Very hard for non-US residents. There are various scolarships, some granted by government, some by schools. Really, forget about government ones if you're not a US resident. The government's duty is to people who have been paying taxes and will repay society. Not preaching, stating facts. As from a college point of view, you can get one, if you're a moron but some sports prodigy, and I mean prodigy, Think Kembe, the basketball player. For merit based scholarships, i.e. because of your grades, you are competing with some outstanding US students, and the school is not particularly in short supply of those. But you can try, if you have a perfect record, perfect SATs, and something exotic the school will want. Note that the best colleges first accept a student WITHOUT looking at his/her financial situation, then pass the file to the financial assistance office, who makes a decision on helping you out. If you are thinking post-graduate, then you don't get a scholarship, but a fellowship. You don't pay but you work for your degree. You must argue and justify the need and value to the institution for your research.

Ask your universities on your contry weather they have agreements with universities abroad, so it is easier for you to gain your scholarship.
