I'm doing some research on community colleges that offer scholarships for international students. Are there notable community colleges in the U.S. that provide financial aid or scholarships specifically for international students? Any recommendations or experiences?
Absolutely, there are a number of community colleges in the U.S that offer financial aid and scholarships specifically for international students. One to consider is Houston Community College in Texas. They host a large number of international students and have a variety of scholarships available, including the International Student Scholarships that are open to incoming international students.
Another good option would be Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). NOVA offers the NOVA Honors Program Scholarship which international students are eligible for. This scholarship is based on academic performance and involvement in the honors program.
Lastly, Santa Monica College in California is known for having a high international student population and has a few scholarships open to international students, as well, such as the International Education Center Scholarship.
Just be sure to stay mindful of application deadlines and always fill out any necessary paperwork completely and accurately. And remember, you'll be expected to primarily fund your education as an international student—these scholarships can help, but they may not cover all your expenses.
