I'm considering starting my education at a community college in the U.S., but I'm an international student. Are there any community colleges known for providing scholarships to international students like me?
Several community colleges in the United States offer scholarships to international students. Here are a few examples:
1. Santa Monica College in California - has a range of scholarships for international students, with some specifically set aside for those studying particular areas.
2. Houston Community College in Texas - through the HCC Foundation, there are scholarships for international students as well. Criteria vary by scholarship, but those with a strong academic record are encouraged to apply.
3. Northern Virginia Community College - offers several scholarships that international students can apply for, including the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.
4. Shoreline Community College in Washington - International students have access to a number of scholarships issued through the college’s foundation.
5. Green River College in Washington - Every year, the college gives out a limited number of scholarships to international students.
Remember, though, that every college has different procedures and deadlines for applying for scholarships. Start your research early and ensure to note down all the necessary details before applying. Also, keep in mind that while scholarships can help, they might not cover all costs, so it's still important to have a financial plan in place.
