Hi.
The above mentioned is the amount one has to fork out for an
undergraduate-degree at a USA school.
I've problems with forking out [b]US$44 000 per annum for 4
years of study.
This is equivalent to SGD$71,825.60 per year.
4 years would cost me SGD$287,302.40 then.
It's such an amazing amount. 
I'm from an average-incomed family. Dad's a taxi-driver. Mum's a
housewife. Sisters're schooling & a secretary. No one around me
earns such huge salary, or rather it's impossible to borrow
such.
Scholarships? Well, I'm not someone who's a scholar. (Or rather
I've not found any that suits.)
Banks' Loans? The most amount that I've managed to enquiry-
SGD$150, 000.
I can't fund such a huge amount in Singapore with regards to my
background.
Someone (Professionals, CEOs or wealthy Graduates etc.) who
has
been there, done that, please enlighten me?

Do your degree here first, then go abroad for your Masters after
you have graduated.It's cheaper and you can save up while studying
doing part-time work.It's tough but if its your dream, go for
it.Don't let all this crap get you down.
