I am a U.S. citizen who has actually never lived in the U.S. Sounds weird but that's how it is. Now I'm looking for scholarships to get a Masters degree in the States, and the problem is - money. Tuition is way too much high for me, having in mind that I live in Europe where nothing can compare to this in terms of prices.
Nevertheless, the worst part of all that is that I have a dual citizenship and I'm still not resided in the States! Which makes me partly an international student and therefore limits my chances of getting any scholarship. Does that simply mean I can apply as an international student even though I have the U.S. citizenship?
The first question is how to apply, the second is how to get the money.
Since I have never lived in the States, I don't even know what I should do first when I come regarding paying taxes, getting an ID, etc. Is there an option to study AND work on a project at the same college as a technician? By the way, I'm studying Biology. In case I get a job, am I allowed to receive aid and a scholarship? Also, would it be enough to cover all the college expenses?
Some extra information and advice would be great.
