TEXT B
First, the bad news. in the past year, Asians seeking education abroad have found it harder than usual to locate the requisite funding. Loans have become more expensive, and government grants have shrunk. As their currencies depreciated drastically against the dollar, countries like Thailand and Malaysia that had been nurturing overseas education programs simply ran out of cash. Malaysia, which had the largest state-funded study-abroad program in Asia, used to shell out ’ 660 million for its top students to study overseas. But the program has been cut back by about 90%, and the Education Ministry is urging students to be "patriotic" and stay home. Thailand, which has 2,000 government-sponsored students scattered through the U.S., is also scaling back its study-abroad programs. Although 120 undergraduates were selected to study abroad for free this academic year, just 20 are projected to receive the ’28,000 grant each in 1999. And don’t expect foreign governments to help fund Asian students either. Although Britons pay only ’1,600 a year for their undergraduate education, international students don’t get the same subsidy break and must pay an average of ’20,000 annually for tuition, living costs and travel expenses. U.S. law prohibits foreign students from receiving any federally funded financial aid, including grants and loans. Unlike their American classmates, most foreign students cannot supplement their income by getting an off-campus job. To keep their visa status as students, international scholars need to carry a full course load and may work at non-college jobs only with a special permit from the Immigration and Naturalization Services -- and it can take months to get approval. (Some of these rules have been relaxed for Asian students hit by the economic crisis, but the grace period won’t last forever. )
