I would like to know what are the different types of scholarships according to the grades. Like if i have 9,or 8 ... I'm from México and it's a different system between the United States.

Thanks I hope you could help me

Hola,
In the US scholarships are available based on merit and based on financial aid. Usually, they require students a 3.0 GPA (the average of your grades) but they each have different requirements. You should check the section on this website under "Paying for school" and then "Scholarships". In addition, most of these scholarships are available for U.S. residents and citizens. You should check what kind of aid is available for foreign students in the specific college where you'd like to apply. You can find that out on the College website under Foreign students or Financial Aid.
Good luck!
