I was just contacted by Grantham University with a request for my unofficial transcripts prior to being scheduled for training. According to my records I applied in July of 2010. Wow! I guess it is true that you never know when you will hear from some of these schools.
Can anyone share what they pay per course? Any other info would be greatly appreciated as well.

What Is a Tax Credit ?
A tax credit is an amount that you’re allowed to subtract from what you owe in taxes. When you pay college costs, you can subtract a certain amount from your tax bill later on. If your parents pay college expenses for you, they get the tax credit.
There are two different tuition tax credit programs. The amount of the credit varies and is subject to a number of rules, depending on which credit you use, what you use the money for, and what area of the country you live in. Your family may not claim more than one credit for the same student in any one year.
American opportunity tax credit: This credit replaces the Hope credit for 2011 and 2012. One difference is that families who owe very little tax or no tax (because their incomes are low) may be able to get some of the credit paid back to them directly. Also, the credit can be applied to course-related books and supplies, in addition to tuition and fees. The student must be in the first four years of post-secondary education and enrolled at least half-time in a program leading to an undergraduate degree or other legitimate education credential.
Lifetime learning credit: The money claimed must have been used for tuition and fees. This credit is available for undergraduate or graduate programs and for courses (even a single course) to acquire or improve job skills.

Am i Eligible for any Scholarships?
I am doing BE in mechanical engineering from NUST. Am in 7th semester with CGPA 2.76. Want to do Masters (preferably leading to PhD) from any good foreign university on scholarship, since my family can't afford the high fees. With this CGPA am i eligible for any scholarships? If so then where and how should i apply and what steps should i take from here on to ensure i get admission along with scholarship in masters program?
You will find it difficult to get scholarships with this GPA. You can compensate with relevent work/research experience. Publishing research papers always helps especially for PhD positions in funded projects.
you can not get any of the scholarship with this GPA.......but i would suggest you to give GRE with full strength and score around 1400 then your chances would be bright.if you can't do this and don't wanna industrial experience then its better you start doing MS from NUST or else and later on apply for PhD scholarship on master basis.
I think there is no program called "MSc leading to PhD". Usually one gets admission in MSc/MA and then after completion again apply for PhD separately which might not be in same university where masters is done.
Popular scholarship programs are DAAD (Germany), Fullbright (USA), Endeavour (Australia), Easmus Mundas (Europe).Just Google , bing or Yahoo search engine these programs and you would find allot of details.
