text: i have been accepted by cornell university in the us, but i have no money to go. how can i fund myself? cornell has refused me any financial aid and yet my family cannot afford to pay the full fees. i have explored local (singapore) scholarships (more or less rejected), local bank loans (very high interest rate) and us scholarships. cornell does not offer interest-free or low interest loans, as far as i know. anyone got any ideas?? any help at all would be greatly appreciated. =) thanks! first, contact the financial aid office at cornell.  there are several ways for international students to get grants and loans, and the financial aid office will have up-to-date information.    edupass is the first website to consult.  i've placed their address below.  they have the best available information on the web for international students who plan to study in the us.  you may also want to contact outfits like the international education finance corporation.  (there are others, but iefc is one of the best-known.)  consult edupass for information about more of these loan sources.  i hope this helps!
