His grandmother was a bank vice president. His mother worked for USAID and the Ford Foundation. So the family wasn't exactly poor. He would have qualified for scholarships as a black American student, a status for which there are a lot more scholarships than foreign students), and he could have simply gotten student loans like most people at that time did.
Whatever the case, he did not get a Fulbright Scholarship as this letter claims.

I'm saving the above post so that if we ever see Obama's Occidental records and see how he paid for his education there, I can bring it back up to see if the poster is correct on his theory as to how Obama was paying for his education at Occidental College in California.
How about you go on record with your theory, while you’re at it.
