I'm considering community colleges in the U.S. and would like to know which ones offer scholarships for international students. Any suggestions on where I might find financial aid opportunities?
Certainly, quite a few community colleges in the U.S. offer scholarships specifically for international students. Here are a few to consider:
1. Santa Monica College (California) - Offers a variety of scholarships, including the International Student Scholarship that ranges from $250 to $1,000.
2. Green River College (Washington) - Has an extensive scholarship program for international students, such as the Green River College Foundation Scholarships which offer awards of up to $3000 per year.
3. Northampton Community College (Pennsylvania) - Offers both need-based and merit-based scholarships to international students. There's the "International Student Scholarship" and the "Honors Program Scholarship" amongst others.
4. Houston Community College (Texas) - Offers a scholarship program specifically designed for international students. The amount varies, but they can go up to $1,500 per academic year.
5. Orange Coast College (California) - Provides several scholarship opportunities through the Orange Coast College Foundation, including the International Student Scholarship.
Remember, not all scholarships are merit-based, some may be need-based or program-specific. So take the time to assess and align your needs and qualifications with the right scholarship opportunity. Be sure to thoroughly review each college’s website or get in touch with the financial aid offices directly to get the most accurate and updated information. Good luck with your research!
