I'm considering starting my education at a community college in the US. Are there any community colleges that provide scholarships specifically for international students? Looking for options that could ease the financial burden a bit.
There certainly are community colleges in the U.S. that provide scholarships for international students. Most commonly, these scholarships are based on academic merit, leadership, or in some cases, field of study.
For instance, Santa Monica College in California offers scholarships for exceptional students, including the International Education Center Scholarship. Another example is Northern Virginia Community College; their scholarship program also includes awards specifically for international students.
In addition, Daytona State College in Florida offers the International Student Merit Scholarship based on academic achievement. Similarly, the Community Colleges for International Development (CCID) has collaborated with certain community colleges like American Honors to offer scholarships for international students.
Please remember that each college has its own eligibility criteria and application deadlines. It's important to reach out to the respective college's financial aid office or visit their websites for the most accurate and updated information. Good luck with your search!
