I am interested in studying in USA. I'm studying in Kyiv (Ukraine) in the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy on the Faculty of Natural Sciencies (Chemistry Department). I'm a second year student. Besides I speak four languages such as English, German, Ukrainian and Russian. I'm so interested in studying abroad, because my speciality needs a lot of practice and research works, which I can't do in Ukraine. Analytical chemistry appeals to me most of all. I want to make research and specialize in natural gas and oil. First thing I want to find out is how I can pay for studying, since I can't pay it by myself. Are there any scholarships I can apply for? Do you have any information on that? I would really appreciate if you reply to my email.
