Thanks! It's good to know that it´s actually possible!

Hello everybody! I want to apply for a PhD program in USA to start in 2015. I am already doing the shortlist, applying for scholarships in my own country...but they are extremely competitive and I have an exceptional ability to choose topics that scholarship-givers don´t regard as relevant. Thus, I wonder if I should apply anyway and hope to get funding from the university which accepts me...but I don´t know if this actually happens! I have asked in some of the schools and they told me so, but I need real-life examples. Is there any International student around that have been able to undertake his/her studies in USA counting solely on assistantships?? Thanks!
