Why should international students pay more money for universities?

International students have to pay more money than American students to attend college in USA. International students the future of their country and ours international will help America to make their future brighter, they also the one who are paying most money to universities. International students should be charged the same amount of money as American students pay because to charge one group same amount and other group different is a discrimination against international students, it might be a discrimination based on nationality. I think they need to change this and follow the rules for each and every student in United States. International students have no rights to get scholarships grant that would help them succeed towards their degree. (In today society people are paying tons of money related to studies and universities international students will help America to make the future brighter.) I have an international student status which does not let me work or pay less money as a international students, I have no rights what so ever to apply for scholarships or work. I have right to study in America just as the citizens of this country do. We pay out of state fees which some Americans pay too if they come to different state for example a guy from Tennessee come to Arkansas to study he have to pay out of state fees but he can back up his fees by paying only little amount of money and rest of the money is paid by government because he have maintaining their GPA. He can work minimum hours and have extra money saved up for his expenses but out of country student cant work or get any sort of income except his home country and only option they can pay his money by getting loan from a bank or his family is paying for all of his expenses. This argument is fair because this country already has a set law Equal right amendment for everybody who stays in United States. Weather he is tourist or any other human

being coming from wherever on this earth he should have equal rights as citizens of this country do. The government have their different kind of set rules but somehow forget they made an equal right amendment for each and everybody who is in United States treat equally. (Government set rules so that we cant work as international students they have to take loan in their home country. I described what should U.S.A do to make this country reasonable to live in U.S.A.) The government is setting rules like you can't work in united states if you have student visa they will pay this much tuition fees and not work my family is not rich they are middle class and they do not have enough money to support their children. International students families have to take loan from their home country and have to pay for their childrens education which is a fair way to do it but if the government can offer student visa students to work in United States it benefits them and well as students. This would help America in lot of ways like having a whole new source of income and they are paying taxes this is fair and working at the same time to help this country economy do better job. If they started working in United States the students paying taxes to government will help students to pay their tuition fees. Why are the government worrying about their grades, this and United States is all about freedom why not have this freedom that will help them and help government. International students in some universities pay lot of money to international students these are some of top universities in Arkansas that pay most money to international students
(Guide to Academic freshmen). If University of Arkansas pays thousands of dollars to international students in form of scholarships why cant UALR, UALR have organization who is donating millions of dollars they can get more companies to donate more money. They started giving out money to international students and so more international people, have good jobs own some big companies now donated to UALR. UALR can help millions of international

Budhwani 3 students tons of money that will help international students at UALR achieve their dreams and have some hope for their future. They can start a new foundation that will help UALR and international students get most donations out of people and start paying international students for universities. (This paragraph claim is how ualr can make some of the international students dream come true it will help ualr have new benefits for students and it will be the start of new foundation at ualr.) International students have lot of dedication to come to united states, study but money cannot because of their financial situations UALR should start help them by giving them scholarships or grants toward their degree why would UALR give international students scholarships they are going to use their talent in their home country? Once they started living over her they will think that United States is better than my country they will move in this country because of the respect that they have gotten from American people. Once they get job in USA over here and they have to apply for business visa this visa they have to pay lot of taxes to own a business in united states it will help American economic go up. UALR should dedicate scholarships to international students that have GPA more than 3.0. There are lot of dropping international students) Around 51% of international students drop out from universities because of financial situation (Sheely). Half of students go drop out and graduation rate decrease when they drop out of university universities loose around 9 billion dollar of loss if international students drop out from universities (Kelderman). According to UALR international board director (which 24.2 percent are international students. We as international students are the Major source to universities to make money but this is not fair making money from international students came here for studies and have their goal set that they will earn a United States. There are lot of ways UALR can help international students pay less money. For example university of Arkansas Fayetteville pays to international students help them succeed in their life. University of Arkansas Fayetteville started paying thousands of dollars before they

Budhwani 4 started getting donations then some of international people in Arkansas get together a form donation group like RSO. I have lot of friends that are international students and get scholarship thru International offices to maintain their GPA. All UALR students should have access to same for all system and scholarships or grant offer in University of Arkansas. This universities are in same states. Why have different Rules? This rules should be the same all international students should be treated equally and be treated same as other students. UALR should have same rules for all universities. University of Arkansas Fayetteville have same system like us but they are giving money to international students and we are not we are letting international students paying full tuition fees without giving any scholarships or grant there are almost half of international undergraduate students drop out from universities across nation because of financial reasons. They have to change some laws and rules instead of having Is pay lot of money. They should have same system in every public university we know that University of Arkansas have more students coming in and out and it will help UALR because when they started giving out money to international students drop out rate for international students will remain low at all time. If international students cant pay their tuition expenses than they have to work but this law does not let them. UALR is a great university like any other universities, lot of international students come here to study but they are weak on financial side. UALR will help this kind of students by maintaining their grade point average like University of Arkansas do ; they will have less dropout rate and have more students come in and it will help UALR gain more students. (In other paragraphs I explained about what University of Arkansas is doing to help international students in their universities to make differences in their lives and have their future easy to them by not have to deal too much about money. They have tons of problems already they come here to studies and so they can put money in their education. University of Arkansas have a new group called RSO where they save up money from donation and This same

Budhwani 5 foundation will help UALR and help millions of international students save from drop outs and start paying international students for universities group created like RSO.
