I'm an international student considering community college in the US. Does anyone know of scholarships available specifically for international students at the community college level? It'd be great to get some help lowering the costs!
Many community colleges do offer scholarships for international students. You might want to reach out directly to the community colleges you're interested in attending, as they'll likely have the most specific and relevant information.
On a broader level, search for scholarship opportunities on websites such as Appily, which gives you access to a wide array of scholarships tailored to your profile.
Another scholarship resource to consider is The International Scholarship Search. This online tool lists thousands of scholarships for international students studying in the U.S., and you can filter the results based on your country, field of study, and other criteria.
For a scholarship that specifically targets international community college students, check out the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation's Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. This program supports outstanding community college students with financial need who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university.
While these are good starting points, don't forget to also search for other forms of financial aid, such as grants and work-study programs.
Remember to keep an eye on application deadlines, since they can vary widely amongst different scholarships. Good luck in your search!
