You could look at the Oxbridge system.
unfortunately, international tuition in the states is ridiculous.
Cambridge and Oxford have great CS programs.

the only place i can think of that offers academic schols(the automatic ones) to intls is Montana state and Olemiss.
and they're just decent, if you're applying for a transfer idt you'd be eligible for these schols
if i were you i'd complete my undergrad in aus, it's really unlikely you'd get in a similarly ranked school(wrt your aus school) in the US with a shit ton of aid(coa of 20k is close to needing a full tuition waiver )
trying for masters'd be more rational
but you could apply ED2 to Lehigh/Villanova/Colby/Trincoll

What about ASU? Idk the maximum scholarship you can get, but I can’t think of any other schools with great CS programs and affordable tuition.

would be around 25k~ i believe

You could look at the Oxbridge system.
oxbridge has very sparse scholarships whereas they're more readily available in the US
@proud arrow I'd try plugging in your financials into this https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculator and seeing what it spits out
it'll serve as a very rough test of whether or not it makes sense to apply for super selective US schools with your budget

Thanks, I know that the private selective colls give lots of aid but it seems pretty hard to get in in the first place
Do you know how much strong LORs and Essays would help? + a non traditional path but I guess that’s a lot of people who transfer

check the college's cds, each college has its own metric[yes, they also show valuable a lor is, how valuable essays arre, etc]
