Sadly, American education is not cheap.
I'm truly amazed at the number of parents sponsored people who go for undergraduate degrees in the US from Nigeria. Even Americans take loans and student debt is a big problem that even the Democrats and Republicans haven't been able to solve.

That being said, I think you really need to search properly. Email the graduate coordinators about funding opportunities. You have nothing to lose. The worst thing is 'sorry we don't fund foreign students'. Press them. Email professors. It's hard work but it pays off.

Since your parents are willing to help, just look for financial aid even if it's partial. School fees is a big burden. Can't imagine having that burden over me....

So over to you. Start emailing..

jascymone it depends on your school/department funding. It's typically very competitive for most 'average' schools. You might want to talk to a few professors in your department before you leave, or once you get there-some will want to take their course(s) your first semester and see how you perform before they can give you some funding.Also, you should be ready to show interest in their research.

In most schools, the bank statement does not affect admission offer, however, your I20 will not be issued without a sponsor's bank statement. The amount reflecting on your Bank statement must also be seen as capable of funding your studies for one academic year. Bank statement does not determine if you will be given admission or not. Offering admission is one thing and issuing I20 is another ball game that is hinged on ability to pay school fee which will reflect on your BS.
It is possible for some schools not to ask for bank statement, that depends on some factor like if you have been given full ride scholarship, otherwise, it is a NO NO!
I hope this has addressed your questions and possibly allay your fears.

When pundits talk, it's because of what they see. Arsenal's woeful performance leaves so much to be desired. First Man U shot on target results in a goal. What a shambolic team! Thank God my Chelsea is on fire...
