who pays for their US college educations? are they returning home with $100K in debt, or are they getting assistance from their own governments, companies who sponsor them, even our government through grants to higher education, etc, etc.

To my knowledge, most Indian students in the US are graduate students. They generally don't pay a dime for their graduate education; they either get fellowships (tuition paid plus a stipend); research assistantships (tuition paid plus a stipend for doing research) or teaching assistantships (tuition paid plus a stipend for teaching undergraduate classes or labs.)

Most graduate students in the U.S., period, have financial aid. Don't talk nonsense.
