Funding for Masters, International Student Version

[Hybrid Nomad]

Hello my fellow board-members,

I am trying to help out a friend with her possible decision to go to Grad school, and more specifically with her options for funding. Her interests are primarily with Development Economics and related fields.

Since she is an International Student, funding options are even more dire than they are for Masters in general. Do you know of any independent scholarships available for Internationals? Alternatively, are there any Masters program which are known to give relatively decent funding?

Thanks in advance for your help

All of the international students I know funded themselves through teaching or research assistantships, usually foreign language but sometimes in their actual field. I would also suggest that when your friend looks at programs, they take a look at the school's International Office (or whatever institutional body helps with international students), as they usually have a list of possible funding resources.
