If you are a non citizen looking to apply for federal financial aid you will not be eligible with only a work permit. You need to be a permanent residnet or other eligible status (refugee, or political asyllee for example). Your best bet is to apply for private scholarships. Your scholl probably has a foundation that offers scholrships that you may be eligible to apply for as well as outside organizations. See www.fastweb.com for some good leads. Also search the internet for professional organizations related to your field of study. You should also look onyour schools website, most list scholrships that they have recieved info about. Lastly, but perhapes most importantly,look in your community, religious groups other organizations you may interact with, are good sources of funding and info on scholarships.

maybe some foundation that encourages people to come to the US to get a free college education might give you some money. Or you could serve a tour in the US military, gain your citizenship and end up with about $45,000.00 in Montgomery GI Bill benefits to use for education. I don't think you can get low interest college loans because you are not a citizen. Thats what most of us do and we pay interest and payments for years. If you ever decide to become a US citizen you can earn and pay taxes so you can help someone from some other country go for free. But for now you can try to do what you probably wanted to do which is come the US so we can put you through college, but I have two kids of my own to put through college. And if its OK I would like to have my kids go before I embark on educating the rest of the world.
