Liberal Arts Colleges Offering Merit Scholarships to International Students

Hey, I'm an international student looking to apply to liberal arts colleges in the U.S. Do you know which ones offer merit scholarships for international students? I'm trying to figure out my options in terms of affordability.

Sure, I can help with that. Quite a number of liberal arts colleges in the U.S. do offer merit-based scholarships for international students. A few that are known to do this include:

1. Davidson College: They have the Lowell Bryan scholarship, which is awarded to one or two exceptionally gifted international students each year.

2. Grinnell College: Grinnell offers merit scholarships that range from $10,000 to $50,000 a year, and these are available to international students.

3. Macalester College: This school offers DeWitt Wallace Distinguished Scholarships. These range from partial to full tuition, and are open to international students.

4. Rollins College: Rollins offers multiple merit scholarship programs, with awards up to the cost of tuitions. These are also open to international applicants.

5. Franklin and Marshall College: they offer a range of need-based and merit scholarships that international students can apply for, including the Founders Scholarship which covers full tuition, room, and board.

6. Denison University: Denison provides need-based financial aid and merit scholarships to international students. The merit scholarships can be quite substantial, covering a significant portion of the costs.

Remember, each college has its own set of requirements that you'll need to meet in order to qualify for these scholarships, so it's crucial to research and understand what the specific eligibility requirements are. It's also important to keep in mind the deadlines for applications. I'd recommend applying as early as possible, as some of these scholarships can be competitive. Good luck with your applications!
