Answer
Hi,

There is a listing of colleges and universities that offer aviation and aeronautics available from the University Aviation Association.  The listing is entitled THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE and you can contact UAA at www.uaa.aero to order it.  Since cost is a key factor, I would tend to select a public rather than a private university.  Some public universities that cater to international aviation students are the University of North Dakota and Western Michigan University.  

Best wishes to you,
