I'm an international student interested in attending Boise State Community College. Does anyone know what scholarships are available for international students there and what the application process is like?
Boise State University provides several scholarships for international students. However, remember that each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria, so you should carefully review all the relevant details.
Two of the main scholarships for international students are the International Student Tuition Waiver Scholarship and the Edith Dunham STEM Scholarship.
1. The International Student Tuition Waiver Scholarship provides an out-of-state tuition fee waiver. Effectively, international students who receive this scholarship pay the same tuition rate as an in-state student.
2. The Edith Dunham STEM Scholarship is specifically offered to international students pursuing a major in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). It provides $1,000 per academic year, which can be applied toward tuition, fees, and books.
The application process involves first being admitted to Boise State University, then completing the scholarship application and submitting a personal statement as well as other required materials like recommendation letters, transcripts, or a resume, if called for.
Do remember that competition for these scholarships can be high, so try to make your application as strong as possible. Good luck with your application!
