hello everyone;

my name is joe
i am a student in Virginia tech in blacksburg, VA
i am international and a physics major and an astronomy minor.
My father is supporting me for my tuitions and I'm paying approximately 19000$ per year only for tuitions.
The economical situation in lebanon - where I'm from - is very going down now, and it is even hard on my fahter to afford my life here.
I'm looking for help in my tuitions if anyone is able to or of you can direct me to some scholarships websites.
I really need help.

My dream:
to finish my bachelor in physics and get my minor in astronomy and then go for graduate school for astrophysics.

I would really appreciate it if SOMEONE is really interested in helping me.
I've got the balls but i need a push.
Thanks
Joe
