Where can international students find scholarships at colleges?

As an international student planning to apply to colleges in the U.S., I'm curious about schools that offer scholarships for international students. Any advice on good websites or specific colleges to look into?

Firstly, it's worth noting that the available aid for international students often depends on the specific college or university. Some institutes that are known for being generous with international student aid include the University of Chicago, Yale University, and Harvard University, which all pledge to cover 100% of demonstrated financial need for all students, including international ones.

Remember, aid for international students is usually very competitive, and may require additional applications or essays, so make sure to check each university's financial aid website for the most accurate and current policies.

Besides individual colleges, you can also turn to online platforms for scholarship opportunities. Appily, formerly known as Cappex, is a platform that allows you to search for scholarships based on different criteria, including student status.

Also, the U.S. Department of State's EducationUSA website provides information on scholarships and other types of financial aid available to international students. It's a great resource that guides students through the steps they need to take to study in the U.S., including finding funding.

Keep in mind, applying for scholarships can be a time-consuming process and it's important not to limit yourself to the major ones. Be sure to also apply for smaller scholarships since they often have fewer applicants, which might increase your chances of winning. Lastly, remember to double-check the eligibility criteria for each scholarship - some scholarships might be open to international students, but have specific requirements.

Good luck with your scholarship search!
