hey Thanks GenX, Jethro and Sophtware for your prompt reponses. I have already done two semesters in the US in MBA. I am in Tampa , Florida; and the reason for my question is that I already have a graduate assistantship which entitles me to a tuition waiver but this timesince I am out of the country I kinda missed the waiver deadline and hence was looking for alternate means of funding.

Hey GenX and Sophtware you guys think there is some way you could tell me in further detail how to go about this company sponsor thing and can I qualify for it as its true that as a foreign I cannot work OFF CAMPUS. Do let me know if you guys have any other ideas.

Thanks again

Well i have a friend who works for U.P.S. (That's a parcel service) and his college is being paid for by the company..
he said something about having to sign a contract to work with U.P.S. for so-many years and they would pay for 25% of his school...but here's the cool part.
as time goes on while he still works with the same company..they offer to pay more...so it goes from paying 25% to 50% then 75% then to 100% of his education...(ass long as he still works for u.p.s. that is) and doesnt even have to pay them back.

So that might be something to look into.
Good luck

If you can join the Aircraft industry, they cover your education a 100%. That is at least Boeing does once you have proven yourself to the company. I have been at many companies, but Boeing by far is the best for benefits. They cover 100% of all Microsoft Certified Solution, Bachelor and Master. The catch 22 is that if you don't have one of the above degree or certification, most likely you won't get the job you want.
