The table above illustrates the five main sources of funds for international students in the U. S. , namely from personal funds, the U. S. college or university itself, the foreign government or university, their current employer, or other sources. The table includes data from the years 2003/04 and 2013/14.
Overall, it is evident that for both time periods, the most popular source of funding is through personal or family funds, with more than 60% of the students using it. While four of the sources of funds show a positive change from 2003/04 to 2013/14, the ‘other sources’ for funding showed a negative change of -14%.
Furthermore, there was a drastic rise in the number of students being funded through ‘Foreign Government or University’ and ‘Current Employer, ’ with an increase of 383% and 390%, respectively. Even if there was a fewer number of students funding from ‘Personal and Family’ with a 2% decrease, it still remained the primary funding in both 2003/04 and 2013/14.
