Many cities have branches of international friendship organizations, such as Alliance Française, Goethe Clubs, the Dante Aligheieri Society, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Sister Cities and the League of United Latin American Citizens. Many such organizations (most can be found on the internet) have modest programs that aid students who study or do research in their country of interest. Check your area to identify these organizations and to see if they have scholarship programs.
