International Opportunities 

If you are an International student living outside the United States, you might consider "Aero Clubs" or similar organizations located in your area.  Aero Clubs promote aviation and often have social events.

Sometimes Aero Clubs are associated with commercial airline or military flying in the area. Investigate if such an organization is located in your area and see if there are any events you could attend. Perhaps you could volunteer to help with one of the events. This can provide a way to get to know pilots and aviation supporters and perhaps learn of other ways to get involved in aviation.  Sometimes these groups offer scholarships and grants, too.

There are national groups like the Federation Aeronautique International (FAI) in many countries and these often have strong ties to aero clubs.  If you are outside the U.S. see if your country has a national affiliate - the website is at http://www.fai.org/
