Students from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Palau and the Marshall Islands are eligible to apply for U.S. federal financial aid.  You should also apply for scholarships from your home government.  Be aware that U.S. federal financial aid is usually not enough to cover the cost of your tuition, fees, housing, books, etc.  So you will need to try to get a scholarship from your home government and/or have money from family to meet all of your expenses.  If you are not able to pay for all of your expenses, you will not be able to continue in school.
