I'm looking into Union College as an international student. Can anyone share insights on the types of scholarships they offer for international applicants? Would be great to hear from students who are or were in the same boat.
Yes, Union College does provide financial assistance to international students. International students are eligible for merit-based scholarships and need-based aid.
The merit scholarships are based on your academic achievement, leadership qualities, and other personal characteristics. Depending on your qualifications, these scholarships can range from $10,000 to full tuition per academic year.
As for need-based aid, Union College is committed to making education accessible for all students, regardless of their financial background. To be considered for need-based aid, you'll need to fill out the CSS profile and provide any other necessary documentation to demonstrate your family's financial need.
Remember, when applying for scholarships, it's crucial to start the process as early as possible since some funds are limited and can run out quickly. Moreover, make sure to double-check the deadline of the scholarships so that you don't miss out on them!
To get a concrete sense of available aid and your potential financial responsibility, I recommend using the Net Price Calculator on Union College's website. This tool can help give you an estimate of the potential financial aid package you could receive.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your applications!
