I want to go to boarding school in another country
Question Posted Wednesday March 25 2015, 9:13 am
I'm a 14 year old Indian girl. I'm currently in the 9th grade in a school in Delhi but I really want to go to boarding school abroad. I'm not a very distinguishable student but I play the violin at a grade 3 level. My parents cannot afford to send me to a boarding school abroad so I will need some kind of financial aid. Are there any ways to do this and how can I make myself a stronger candidate?

I do know that many college age people do end up going to college in another country though, thats more common. If your biggest reason for wanting to attend school in another country is wanting to experience a different country, then it doesnt necessarily have to be school that you go for. There are quite a few very independant teens, who after graduating, go touring another country just for the experience of seeing somewhere else before they get settled and married with kids and not likely to be able to do so later.
See how you feel in a couple years as you're closer to the time of graduating high school and preparing for college, and start checking then into which countries are easier to get into for college. I know the US always sounds attractive to those from other countries but there may be other countries more open to and who actually welcome foreign exchange students and have the structure to help foreign students go to school. I've heard that Sweden actually seeks foreign students and offer scholarships but it probably applies only to college age. Heres an article on it.[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you are unable to look up such things at home, write in with a list of what countries you are interested in attending college in and perhaps I or someone else can find links to information on those countries for you. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
