I'm considering applying to Goucher College as an international student and I'm interested in learning more about the scholarship opportunities they offer. Does anyone have experience or advice on the application process and what types of scholarships are available?
Goucher College indeed offers various scholarships for international students, assisting them greatly to manage their tuition cost. The scholarships available at Goucher are merit-based and students are considered for these on the basis of their academic achievements, so there's no separate application process for the scholarships; you're automatically considered when you submit your application for admission.
In terms of the awards available, Goucher College offers the International Student Scholarship, specifically to international applicants. The award amounts vary considerably on these merit-based scholarships. Typically, they range from $1,000 to $40,000 per year and are renewable for all 4 years of study, provided students maintain good academic standing.
As you compile your materials for your application, be sure to highlight your academic achievements and any unique experiences you've had. These will demonstrate your potential to excel at Goucher and contribute to the college community, improving your chances of being awarded a scholarship.
Remember to keep track of the timelines provided by Goucher, and to complete the necessary financial aid applications on time. Do keep in mind that merit scholarships rarely cover all of your expenses, so it’s also a good idea to supplement them with external scholarships that are open to international students.
Feel free to reach out directly to Goucher's financial aid office if you have any concerns or questions as you navigate this process. Good luck!
