Hello,

Did you know that some American universities offers in-state tuition for international students ?

St. Cloud State University provides qualified international students with the Academic and Cultural Sharing Scholarship. This scholarship entitles the international student to pay resident tuition, which saves over $3,900.00 per year. There’s no need to apply for the scholarship for new international students, it is granted to you on your first semester. Then all you need to do is complete two cultural sharing activities and maintain other requirements to qualify for continuing ACSS scholarships. More details here;

Also, there's a sizeable group of Malaysian students who attends SCSU. Most of them are from Inti Nilai's ADP program. It makes the whole cultural transition easier when you have a familiar group of people to hang out with and teach you the ropes. Here is SCSU's Malaysian Student Association Website;

SCSU offers 200 undergraduate and 60 graduate academic program which are accredited, meeting the highest standards of the education community. Please visit SCSU's website for more information;

Hope this helps.
