I'm an international student looking at universities with generous scholarship opportunities. Does anyone know which schools are known for offering the most scholarships to international applicants? I want to maximize my chances of financial aid.
There are quite a few universities known for offering generous scholarships to international students. Here's a brief list of some of them:
1. University of Oregon: The university provides several scholarships specifically for international students, with the largest one being the International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) Tuition Scholarship. It covers up to full-tuition costs.
2. University of the People: While it's an entirely online institution, it offers numerous scholarships for international students. Plus, its tuition costs is already quite low since it's a non-profit university.
3. Columbia College in Missouri: The college offers an International Student Scholarship to new students, which can cover up to 50% of tuition.
4. Trinity University in Texas: The university gives merit-based scholarships to international students without an application separate from the main college application.
5. Illinois Wesleyan University: This university offers merit scholarships, talent scholarships and international financial aid to international students.
6. Clark University: The Global Scholars Program at Clark provides scholarships of $15k to $25k per year to first-year international students.
Remember to check out each university's official admissions and financial aid website pages to learn more about the specific scholarships and eligibility requirements. You should also reach out to your school counselor or a private college admissions counselor for help navigating the process. Financial aid is a very personal matter and can vary wildly from student to student, so don't be discouraged if the process seems complex!
