Does anyone know of scholarships available for american students to study in Europe?  I’m working on a Computer Science degree, which is my second degree.  I think I have enough courses to jump to graduate school, if that would be a better opportunity for scholarship or grant money.

You might find something legitimate using the College Board search engine.

I really wonder if studying required a certain GPA. I mean, if the school would consider your transcript. I know it matters somehow, but I’m just a little skeptical because I haven’t been performing well when I was in college. What do you think about this?

Well most colleges in europe won’t accept you unless you meet a minimum GPA which really depends on the school…

Next most scholarships will still give you money to study abroad…

Not sure what Europe requires but to go through my old university in the states you must have a 2.7 to qualify for study abroad.
