Berry College: Are there scholarships for international students?

I'm an international student considering applying to Berry College, but I'm concerned about tuition costs. Does Berry College offer any scholarships specifically for international students? If so, what are the criteria and how competitive are these scholarships?

Berry College does offer financial aid to international students, including scholarships. Their aid packages can consist of a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work opportunities.

The academic scholarships at Berry College do not require a separate application and all accepted students are automatically considered for them. These scholarships range from $8,000 to $28,000 per year and are renewable for eight semesters. The award amount is determined by a combination of your academic credentials, including grade point average and standardized test scores (if provided).

Berry also offers talent-based scholarships in athletics, music, theatre, or creative writing which do require an additional audition or portfolio review. However, the competition for these scholarships can be quite high given the limited number awarded each year.

Not all scholarships are open to international students, so you may want to reach out to the school to clarify which scholarships you should be preparing for. Remember, successful scholarship applications often require careful preparation and strong supporting materials, so be sure to submit an application that reflects your strengths accurately and positively.

Of course, individual financial situations vary, so I would advise also considering other sources of funding and exploring options for financial aid in your home country. Contacting the Berry College Office of Financial Aid (https://www.berry.edu/scholarships-and-aid/contact) might offer additional insight into your specific situation.
