If you are not a U.S. citizen or greencard holder, then you are pretty much on your own. I won't sugar coat it for you, the truth is, there are is little to no free money for foreign individuals. If you are writing from a country other than the U.S., you need to investigate in your own country what foundations or institutions provide money for international studies. (think Fulbright scholarship or the like).

You can also apply to lower ranked schools, and see if they are willing to give you a scholarship just "for being you" (i.e. diversity, merit, and etc.). But the best way to get funding is probably resources in your own country, stipends, scholarships and etc. I got 50% of the funding from my country and 50% from the school I went to. To get a U.S. loan you will have to be a green card holder or a citizen, or have someone in the U.S. co-sign on the loan.
