to find funding is by far our most common question from international students, and for good reason! Finding funding as a non-U.S. citizen can be a complex process. Although we can only work directly with matriculated UArizona students, we have tried to make
our website useful for prospective students. Here are some resources on the topic for you and others in similar situations:
