If you look at the whole World: It's a country specific problem. There are even English speaking graduation programs with international degrees abroad from top universities everywhere. To give some examples study in Sweden, Denmark, Germany etc and spend nearly no money on tuition. Factor the cost of living in and it's overall still cheaper than studying in the US. And I have no doubt that people grow personally (beside the education side) if they spend a good amount of time in another country. It's just not super easy and super obvious to think out of the box.
Some companies even pay your study. You do a regular BS at a university (or college), work as an intern at the company between terms, and the company will pay you 1000€+ per month over a period of 3 to 5 years. This is not a scholarship, but a mixture of apprenticeship and study (called "dual study"), which is becoming increasingly popular at least in Germany.
