Next to none for international students who have to prove on their visa application that they can afford to pay for their education and support themselves during their stay in the US. If you doubt that for some reason then you may find the first question and answer in this publication informative:

There is plenty of financial aid available for US citizens.

I think there may be a working holiday visa situation with Ireland and the USA. Basically, you get a visa that is active for a year and you have permission to work part time where ever you may find a job. If you have some savings beforehand, which I believe are required, you should be good to go to test the waters. Maybe if you make some friends and have a good streak with your employer(s) you might find some sort of more permanent sponsorship for later on. Or maybe you will meet a partner.

All American citizens who are first-time applicants are eligible for financial aid. In the form of government-backed loans.

Did you mean "no free money for us"
