As an international student, I'm looking into Miami Dade College and want to know more about the scholarships available for students like me. Are there specific scholarships or grants offered to international students there?
Miami Dade College (MDC) indeed offers a wide range of scholarships to international students. However, note that eligibility requirements for many of these scholarships often include maintaining a certain GPA and being enrolled in a certain number of credits per semester.
One of the most common scholarships at MDC is the American Dream Scholarship. This scholarship covers the balance of tuition and fees after any other scholarships or grants you may have are applied, potentially making up for any financial shortfalls you may have in covering your full tuition cost.
The Honors College Scholarship is another noteworthy option. This is a merit-based scholarship that covers full tuition and fees, textbooks, and even offers a stipend for students who are selected for MDC's highly competitive Honors College.
Beyond these, MDC offers numerous department-specific scholarships that an international student could qualify for, based on their major or specific circumstances. It would be beneficial to look at the scholarships page on MDC's website or contact the Financial Aid office directly to understand the most up-to-date options and requirements.
Lastly, while not provided directly by MDC, Appily maintains a comprehensive national scholarship database and includes many scholarships that international students are eligible for. Definitely take a look at this resource to maximize your potential scholarship options.
Remember to apply early and often to increase your chances of being awarded scholarships. Good luck!
